question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to suspend the rollout of new sections of smart motorways until technical problems that have led to the recent suspensions of the Dynac system are fully solved; and what assessment they have made of the safety implications of the outages in this system and the remedial measures put in place on the affected motorways.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL5856
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2023 answer text <p>The latest safety data shows that, overall, in terms of serious or fatal casualties, smart motorways are the safest roads on the Strategic Road Network. Nonetheless, in January 2022, the Government agreed to take forward all the Transport Select Committee recommendations including pausing all new smart motorway schemes yet to start construction until 5 years of safety and economic data is available. National Highways will only fully open new schemes that have been already in construction when they have successfully completed a number of stages of testing to ensure the scheme is ready to operate safely.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, National Highways has robust and well-rehearsed mitigation measures to deal with different types of operational challenges (including outages). These measures help to ensure the safety of all road users. They include increased traffic officer patrolling and CCTV monitoring on the network.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 07/03/2023 14:47:49 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the research by IAM RoadSmart Interacting with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay when driving: The effect on driver performance, published on 31 January, which found that touch screen dashboard controls were linked with slower driver reaction times for drivers; and whether any approval processes or minimum safety standards apply to such infotainment systems
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL5268
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2023 answer text <p>In-vehicle technology has the potential to distract the driver from the driving task and the Department is conducting its own independent research into this but welcomes all contributions to help develop understanding in this area. It is however difficult to set measurable criteria to define whether a particular function is distracting and so the Department has supported initiatives to establish guiding principles which, when applied during the development of a product, should lead to a design that can be safely used within a vehicle.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 08/02/2023 14:20:56 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
