PReVAL Final Workshop

10 January 2008, Brussels

The PReVAL Final Workshop took place on 10 January, 2008. The workshop was organized together with the ongoing eIMPACT and TRACE projects.

Objectives

PReVAL is a subproject of the PReVENT IP and has as main objectives:

• to identify best practices for the assessment of IP PReVENT safety applications.
• to define a framework for estimating their safety impact taking into account technical performance and human factors.
• to apply the framework to estimate the potential safety impacts of selected PReVENT applications.
• Make recommendations for the future assessment and development of preventive safety applications

Substantial work on safety assessment is also being performed in eIMPACT and TRACE.

Key aims

The key aims of the Final PReVAL workshop were:

• To present the assessment framework developed by PReVAL and the safety assessment methodologies developed by eIMPACT and TRACE. 
• To promote and disseminate the assessment work of PReVAL on technical, HMI and safety potential of preventive and active safety functions;
• To report on the assessment  of PReVENT applications. 
• To examine the application of above findings towards arriving at Best Practice within the evaluation of active and preventive safety functions.

The workshop consisted of two parts:

Morning Session : Parallel break-out sessions devoted to fine-tuning internal and external assessment methodology links.

At the start of the sessions, the approaches were presented, followed by a discussion on selected issues.:

• Safety assessment methodologies. Presentation and discussion of the eIMPACT/PReVAL and TRACE methodologies.
  
• Technical and human factors evaluation. Presentation and discussion of the evaluation methodologies proposed by PReVAL. 

Afternoon Session: Presentation and discussion of analysis results of PReVENT subprojects, and of future work in evaluation.

PReVAL presented the work on the analysis of the technical, human factors and safety impact evaluation of PReVENT functions. The analysis work in TRACE and eIMPACT is still ongoing. TRACE and eIMPACT projects were presented.
