The WG on Crash Relevant Event definitions allows stakeholders to share and discuss experiences from past and current European and national Field Operational Tests (FOTs) in order to achieve commonly agreed positions on the topic of how to define Crash Relevant Events that are useful for assessing the influence of driver behaviours and in-vehicle safety systems on crash risk.

With this webinar Mikael Ljung Aust from Volvo Cars (leader of the WG) gave an update on the WG on Crash Relevant Event definitions activities. The following topics were discussed in the webinar:

• Work progress in 2011 – 2013
• Current WG status; starting with a review of the topic background and then presenting and discussing the contents of the intermediate report (which will be sent out to webinar participants one week before the webinar)
• Future plans for remainder of 2013; the key issue being what is most useful to have in the updated FESTA handbook
• Questions and discussion

Special emphasis was put on the more fundamental challenges that approach to defining Crash Relevant Events in such a way that NDS/FOT results become generalisable.
