This research was carried out to understand how in-vehicle technologies may be able to assist with and encourage safe and efficient driving behaviour. Furthermore, we wanted to know the extent to which different technologies are likely to deliver cost-effective improvements specifically in New Zealand, resulting in a list of ‘best fit’ technologies for the country and lastly, we wanted to know best mechanisms for increasing the use of ‘best fit’ technologies in New Zealand. The key findings suggest prioritising implementation through mandating the following technologies: lane keep assist, automated emergency braking, in new vehicles and then considering mandating blind spot monitoring and rear end collision avoidance system.
