In recent years, the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) plays significant role to equip modern vehicle to be more safety focused. The effort from manufacturers have been massively developed, tested, and implemented in order to follow the regulatory act that apply.
The Automotive Regulatory Guide of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) is a unique publication that provides a comprehensive overview of the national and international regulations governing the automotive industry.
I started off my experimental design interpreting the articles listed in the ACEA, specifically to the Intelligent Speed Assistance (‘ISA’) systems detailed down in the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1958 as the regulatory act. This regulatory act advertise substantial technical guides. Some of the noteworthy mentions are:
- In accordance with Article 3, point (3), of Regulation (EU) 2019/2144, the ISA system is a system to aid the driver in maintaining the appropriate speed for the road environment by providing dedicated and appropriate feedback.

- In accordance with Article 3, point (3), of Regulation (EU) 2019/2144, the ISA system is a system to aid the driver in maintaining the appropriate speed for the road environment by providing dedicated and appropriate feedback.
- The ISA system may rely on various input methods, such as camera observation, map data and machine learning, however, the actual presence of real-world explicit numerical speed limit signs, should always take precedence over any other in-vehicle available information.
- The ISA systems may be faced with ambiguous speed related information due to missing, vandalised, manipulated or otherwise damaged signs, erroneous sign placement, inclement weather conditions or non-harmonised, complicated and implicit speed restrictions.
- The specific test procedures and technical requirements for the ISA systems should also ensure that a system does not exceed the capability of an average human driver of interpreting and understanding the pertinent speed limit information. ISA systems should not be required to have self-driving levels of capability, but only provide assistance to drivers.
- ISA systems may use map data to ensure appropriate performance during real-world driving.
During driving, the system information display feeds driver with real time speed counter. The speed counter will interactively scale up its numeric size during full throttle while shifting colour into bright alerting red providing a sense of potential speed limit breaks.
Car camera intelligently scan road signs then combined with maps data to analyse every roads with speed limits.
This proactive alert is part of the system's autonomous assistance where eventually would apply enforced brake assist if on-seat driver disregarded all warnings.
