Abstract
This document contains the results of a NHTSA study examining Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA), which is a technology offering a promising approach to reduce speeding. A core principle for ISA systems is they provide real-time feedback to drivers, prompting them to reduce speed when some threshold at or above the limit is reached. The overall goal of the study was to provide insight into the effectiveness and acceptance of this technology among young drivers in the United States, Researchers conducted two separate studies with young drivers (18 to 24 years old) to examine its speed reduction effects. Overall, the studies demonstrated this technology showed promise for reducing speeding among young drivers in the United States, but more research was needed to further refine the system.
