Improved technological safety measures and regulation modifications as well as better education of road users have had considerable influence on reducing the number of accidents and fatalities. However, assessing the effect of measures has been straightforward and in particular there is not enough knowledge on the precise impact on road safety of the new intelligent measures. Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) is a suitable platform to evaluate these innovative safety measures. Relatively quick results and reduced cost are amongst the main benefits of using simulation tools for evaluating safety measures. In this paper, ABM and Road Safety Measures, in particular intelligent safety measures, will be briefly introduced followed by the description of a proposal methodology to evaluate in-vehicle intelligent safety measures. This methodology will be tested for Alcohol Intake control devices. Alcohol-involved accidents contribute to about one third of fatal accidents in USA and EU. Development of alcohol-lock devices and regulations which prevent drunk drivers to start and run the vehicle are among priorities in road safety programs. Results show the adequacy of the described methodology.
