As such, public policy<br>makers are increasingly interested in the implementation possibilities of these systems.<br>Successful implementation in the near future of these systems will largely depend on the<br>willingness of people to buy and use these systems. The current knowledge regarding this<br>willingness is limited. Therefore, in this paper the acceptance of potential users is explored<br>regarding the first ADAS currently deployed. These systems involve proper distance keeping,<br>speed limit adaptation and navigational support. The preferences for ADA systems have<br>been measured using conjoint analysis techniques. Drivers of cars and trucks throughout<br>Europe have been questioned about the overall attractiveness regarding several alternative<br>ADAS. Alternative systems were presented based on their functional features, different levels<br>of system price and varying types of roads on which ADAS could be used. On average,<br>drivers consider it neither attractive nor unattractive to have support systems in their<br>vehicle(s). However, the study shows that this finding needs to be qualified, as preferences<br>depend on the specific system characteristics and the background characteristics of drivers.</p> ER -
