Intelligent Speed Adaptation
 
Every year thousands of people are killed on UK roads. SPEED is a major contributory factor in a large percentage of road traffic accidents. Despite the introduction of speed calming measures such as road humps, lane narrowing and speed cameras, speeding continues to be the norm on the majority of UK roads. Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) is a general term for Intelligent Transport Systems that serve to limit the speed of a vehicle. By restricting the vehicle to the posted speed limit, ISA potentially provides one of the most effective strategies for reducing inappropriate speeds.
