10th eSafety Observer Regional Meeting in Vilnius, Lithuania

Key road safety players representing national and European interests met on 25 and 26 September 2008 to review how hi-tech safety systems for cars, so called eSafety systems, can help reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on Europe’s roads.

Organised by eSafety Support and co-hosted by the Stratum OÜ, the 10th European eSafety Observers meeting took place in Vilnius, Lithuania. The event has featured presentations by the European Commission and eSafety Support experts, giving an overview of the eSafety initiative, its current priorities and its achievements to date. National road safety players from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were also invited to provide a detailed status of eSafety development and deployment in the Baltic region through a series of presentations.

The eSafety initiative, dating from 2002, is dedicated to halving the number of road deaths in Europe by 2010 through the development and deployment of eSafety systems.
