IN-ARTE is a European Project whose main objective is to develop a system that supports the driver while driving on motorways extra-urban and rural roads. In this paper the evaluation tests performed in this project are presented: system functionality system impact on the user's driving behaviour and effect on the road safety in general (short-time effects), and user's acceptance and willingness to pay. Results show that an IN-ARTE system has a positive effect on traffic safety: the use of IN-ARTE reduces maximum and average speed it has in particular a positive effect on users with a bad driving style. Moreover, the system increased average TTC (Time To Collision). The false alarms rate is less than 5% for frontal obstacles (caused by reflections) and around 1O% for curves (due to the use of the indicator status as criterion for curve entrance).Finally, users' acceptance of the system is rather positive, especially for those who have tested the system in heavy traffic. The use two levels of warnings has also been suggested a caution level, and an imminent danger level.
