The benefits of platooning to road safety are oftentimes inferred based on the assumption of positive effects attributed to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). However, the potential to significantly reduce car crashes is just one of many aspects to be considered. The Connecting Austria project was committed to examining road safety issues from various perspectives within Austria. The legislative situation in Austria regarding public tests of automated driving systems was reviewed and requirements discussed. Furthermore, an assessment of the readiness of 700 km road infrastructure was assessed by means of an adapted Road Safety Inspection and recent heavy goods vehicle (HGV) accident figures on motor and expressways were discussed. Eventually, the distance at which HGV should operate cooperatively is a road safety issue demanding for consideration of other road users. Car drivers’ subjective tolerance of gap sizes between trucks can serve as an important indicator to answer this question. An on-road study aiming at operationalising the individual gap acceptance is outlined.
