Satellite Navigation has a Positive Effect on Driving and Traffic Safety
Amsterdam, 14 February 2007: Leading Dutch research
institute TNO today announced the results of research which prove the
positive influence of satellite navigation devices on driving and traffic
safety. The study was commissioned by Aon, Athlon Car Lease, Delta Lloyd
(part of Aviva Plc) and TomTom.
Key findings:
The use of a satellite navigation device improves the driver's
behaviour when driving through an unknown area to an unknown destination;
The use of satellite navigation system heightens alertness and
reduces the stress levels of the driver;
Drivers who do NOT have the use of a satellite navigation
solution have 12% more damage claims to their vehicles;
The use of a TomTom satellite navigation solution reduces the
amount of miles driven by 16%;
The use of a TomTom satellite navigation solution reduces travel
time when driving through an unknown area to an unknown destination by 18%;
The use of a TomTom satellite navigation solution reduces the
workload (the amount of effort it takes the driver to drive) of the driver
when travelling through an unknown area to an unknown destination.
Alexander Ribbink, chief operating officer for TomTom, commented: “We have always designed our products with safety as a key priority.
All our tests have always proven that our products act as a genuine
aid to driving. This independent research now strengthens this. TomTom
owners benefit from increased awareness, a reduced workload, less stress,
less time and distance travelled in getting to their destination. On top
of that there are clear environmental and economic benefits. All in all,
we provide drivers with the ability to keep their eyes on the road and
get from A to B as safely and efficiently as possible.”
Improvement of driving behaviour The research showed that when a driver uses a satellite navigation
solution they stop 25% less frequently and are stationary for 35%
less time. Satellite navigation solutions also reduce the number
of turns required to get to the destination compared to conventional
navigation tools, such as paper maps or online route planners. What
is also shown is that driving behaviour has improved, with over 50%
fewer inappropriate actions, such as ignoring traffic signs. The
driver can focus on driving rather than finding the way.
More alert and less stressed behind the wheel The research showed that satellite navigation solutions heighten the
alertness of drivers and provide them with an improved attention span,
whilst also reducing stress. 78% of users have the feeling that they
have everything under control when using a TomTom satellite navigation
solution. They are more alert behind the wheel and more conscious of
traffic behind them.
Less workload The research proves that the workload of drivers is reduced when using
a satellite navigation solution. The workload is 20% less when driving
with a TomTom satellite navigation solution and involved less exertion.
Driving while using conventional navigation tools, such as maps and
digital Internet route planners, proved to present a more intense workload.
Reduction of mileage The research proved that the amount of kilometres driven when using a
TomTom satellite navigation solution is reduced by 16%. Time spent
travelling is reduced by 18%. Because fewer kilometres are driven,
petrol is saved which is beneficial for both the car driver and the
environment.
Reduction in frequency of insurance claims The research proves that lease drivers who do NOT have satellite
navigation make 12% more damage claims than those who do have satellite
navigation.
About the research There were three elements used to determine the answer to the central
question “What are the effects of navigation systems on traffic safety?”:
a user survey; damage database analysis; and test drives. The research
programme was conducted in The Netherlands over a six month period and
was completed in December 2006. The generic findings of this study prove that satellite navigation solutions have a positive effect on traffic
safety.
