The Dutch Ministry of Transport has released the TNO Final Report, which contains the findings of a large-scale field operational test of active driver assistance systems, so called accident prevention systems (APS), for lorries.
This large-scale study involved more than 2,400 lorries supplied by 123 companies and lasted 8 months. During this time a total of around 77 million kilometers of driving behavior were measured during normal daily driving on Dutch motorways.
