Safe driving in difficult conditions is crucial to road safety and can sometimes be a matter of life or death. Traffic jams, delays and accidents often subject those involved to distress, unnecessarily. They also cost companies and society huge sums of money every year. A single delay in a large town can cause time losses in the region of 100 000 hours. Traffic delays resulting from accidents and salvage work over the last two winters (November-March) caused time losses totalling about 2 million driving hours per year. The cost of these delays to society is estimated at MSEK 360 per year; MSEK 80 of this concerns heavy vehicle transportation. |

Delays involving heavy vehicles are also more consequential and take longer to rectify.
A consequence analysis from the Swedish Transport Administration estimates
that 30-60 % of disturbances during the winter are caused by heavy traffic.
This has resulted in the Swedish Transport Administration and the Swedish Transport Agency
once again proposing legislation to enforce the use of winter tyres or equivalent
equipment on the drive axles of heavy vehicles.
Equipping vehicles preparatively to reduce these costs should be a self-apparent measure.

Onspot - Automatic Traction Control System (ATC)
Onspot is a very simple concept which can be activated during shorter periods in
a preventive manner. When the road becomes icy and slippery,
all the driver needs to do is press a button in his cab, and Onspot is activated.
Onspot can be used when starting the engine, when braking and when going up and downhill.
Activation is possible at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
