SP6 - BLADE
SAFESPOT aims to develop cooperative systems for road safety by means of a feasible vehicle infrastructure architecture: the concept of the Safety Margin Assistent. The goal of sub-project BLADE is to prove the architecture feasibility from a business point of view. To ensure an EU roll out an affordable deployment strategy has to be designed from scratch, involving the relevant stakeholders from the early technological development stage.
The outline of this deployment plan is based on:
- risk an legal analysis
- analysis of roles and responsibilities (the organisational architecture)
- impacts and costs-benefit assessment
- business models and market assessment
Contex for the deployment program

The deployment plan addresses the challenges for the SAFESPOT stakeholders to deploy the Safespot services, and for the main actors the necessary steps, actions and decisions to be taken for a European roll out.

Assessment of the SAFESPOT system architecture has provide insight in the roles and responsibilities that are required to generate the safety services. This model is input for the stakeholders that need to decide which role will be performed by whom.

The BLADE legal and risk analysis will provide options for contractual arrangements and/or a regulatory frame work, addressing liability and privacy concerns. Also the risk assessment has learned that there are many options and deployment issues to decide upon. To ensure a swift and coordinated EU roll out, a "mister Safespot" need to be assigned in the very first stage of the deployment process.
