The Vehicles
 
The vehicles selected are Skoda Fabia 1.4 litre petrol estates. These vehicles were selected after an appraisal of the alternatives in the small family car sector. They have a major advantage to the project work in that they have an electric throttle (throttle-by-wire) whose signal can be modified by the ISA software. The map software is based on a digital road map covering the whole country, although speed limits will only be encoded as road attributes for all the roads in the specific trial area and for the national roads elsewhere. The aim has been to provide an ISA system that is fully integrated into the car and that is as close to the "feel" and design of a production system as possible for reasonable cost.
