The Baseline scenario builds on the EU reference scenario 2016 Energy, transport and GHG emissions : trends to 2050, Luxembourg: Publications Office of the European Union, 2016, doi:10.2833/9127, but additionally includes few policy measures adopted after its cut-off date (end of 2014) and some updates in the technology costs assumptions. The PRIMES-TREMOVE model (see related entry) has been used together with the TRL model VeSTEM to define the Baseline scenario.
VeSTEM was used to determine the cost-effectiveness of three policy options involving the mandatory EU-wide implementation of different sets of vehicle safety measures for new passenger cars, vans, buses, coaches and trucks. The modelled benefits (monetary values of casualties prevented or mitigated by safety measures) and costs (cost to vehicle manufacturers of fitment of safety measures to new vehicles) were compared with a baseline scenario (no action), where voluntary technology uptake continues.
