Abstract :
The movement toward common standards for the application of information technology to European road transport systems is discussed. In particular, the Commission of the European Communities project V1051, Procedure for Safety Submissions for Road Transport Informatics, in the DRIVE program and the relevance of a series of recently released draft standards for safety-related software are considered. These include software development standards and those applying to the safety life cycle model.<>
