Like many industrialized countries, the Republic of Korea (ROK) has implemented policy and research aimed at reducing the number of casualties caused by traffic accidents. For example, ROK launched the project titled "Reduce traffic casualties by half in 10 years" in 2008, Sweden introduced the Vision Zero Policy in the late 1990s, and other European Union members have launched similar projects aimed at reducing traffic accident fatalities by between 30 to 50 percent.

To reduce the number of casualties from road accidents requires improvements to vehicles, road and traffic managements systems. To expedite this process Intelligent Transport System has been adapted and implemented to the vehicles and road systems.

Vehicles with advanced safety features will be expected to reduce or prevent accidents which drivers cannot not respond to or perceive.

To date, there has been insignificant research into the effective performance of vehicles with advanced safety features. The lack of assessment procedures has impeded the public acceptance of vehicles with advanced safety features.

The Development of Assessment Technologies for Advanced Safety Vehicles has been introduced for the promotion of advanced safety vehicles. The project involves the development of assessment technologies for advanced safety vehicles.

This paper shows the development of assessment methods for passive and active safety technologies. These technologies primarily address active protection for pedestrians, rear passenger safety, lane keeping assistance system, and automatic emergency braking system.
