A database for the noise by all the land vehicles is in place (passenger-cars, trucks, buses, tramways, metros,..) - mobility : several large questionnaires about the mobility of persons have been made during the last twenty years (a new questionnaire will be emitted in 2002) ; so, it’s possible to know the modifications about the daily moving of people (lenght of the distance, use of private car or public transport, cost of the transport per day,…) - accidents : a scientific approach of a number of road accidents has been made ; the real elements « responsable » of the accident are analyzed (real speed, braking, leak of directionnal lights….) as the elements responsable of the injuries (part of the vehicle which has caused injuries on the legs , or on the trunk,…). These databases are very used by the stakeholders and also by car-makers. Relevant standards: Financing of the facility: Financing of these infrastructures is obtained through a mix between grants from the government, and from industrial and european projects.
