Intelligent speed assistance

Intelligent speed assistance (ISA), or intelligent speed adaptation, also known as alerting, and intelligent authority, is any system that ensures that vehicle speed does not exceed a safe or <a href="/facts/Speed_limit/yoDquXaA">legally enforced speed</a>. In case of potential speeding, the driver can be alerted or the speed reduced automatically.
Intelligent speed assistance uses information about the road to determine local speed limits. Information can be obtained from <a href="/facts/Vehicle_tracking/6TKuWqkX">knowledge of the vehicle position</a>, taking into account speed limits known for the position, and by interpreting road features such as signs. ISA systems are designed to detect and alert a driver when a vehicle has entered a new speed zone, or when different speed limits are in force according to time of day and conditions. Many ISA systems provide information about driving hazards, e.g. high pedestrian movement areas, railway crossings, schools, hospitals, etc., and limits enforced by speed and <a href="/facts/CCTV/1JCtvSmx">CCTV cameras</a> at <a href="/facts/Traffic_light/v5pwcfsQ">traffic lights</a>. The purpose of ISA is to assist the driver to maintain a safe speed.
