This apparent mismatch between driver skills and situation complexity can be addressed by improvements in three factors: the driver (education and training); the environment (intelligent infrastructure) and the vehicle (in-vehicle safety systems).

Under this general heading, research will concern in particular an examination of regional education and training needs and provision, and the application of new technologies in education and training (multimedia systems, artificial intelligence, distance education and training, etc.).
