INTRODUCTIONThe ESV Program originated more than thirtyyears ago under the North Atlantic TreatyOrganization (NATO) Committee on theChallenges of Modern Society, and wasimplemented through bilateral agreementsbetween the governments of the UnitedStates, France, the Federal Republic ofGermany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan,and Sweden. The participating nations agreedto develop experimental safety vehicles toadvance the state-of-the-art technology inautomotive engineering and to meetperiodically to exchange information on theirprogress. Since its inception the number ofinternational partners has grown to includethe governments of Canada, Australia, TheNetherlands, Hungary, Poland, and twointernational organizations -- the EuropeanEnhanced Vehicle-safety Committee, and theEuropean Commission. A representativefrom each country and organization serves asa Government Focal Point in support of theConference.

The research papers and status reportscontained on this CD-ROM are unedited.These documents feature research effortsunderway worldwide in the reduction ofmotor vehicle related injuries and fatalities.
