According to the German Federal Statistical Office, only nine out of thousand accidents with physical injuries result from technical defects. Whereas 50% of all accidents are caused by visual perception problems. Driver assistance systems, like Collision Warning, help to reduce the number of accidents and minimise consequences of crashes. Current and future driver assistance systems support the driver in many traffic situations. Driver assistance systems recognise dangerous situations at an early stage, warn the driver on time or take corrective actions if it is necessary. An increasing safety and comfort will result in a relaxed and accident-free driving. Current and future driver assistance systems will be discussed whether they can benefit to increase road safety. Accident data from the GIDAS (German In-Depth Accident Study) data base is analysed in accordance with the following criteria: accident type, kind of accident, site of accident, accident concomitants and automobiles involved in accidents. In-depth analysis of accidents will be evaluated statistically and discussed with regard to driver assistance systems.
