Autonomous vehicles are rapidly becoming a reality on European roads and can range from self-driving vehicles to those that provide early hazard warning and avoidance. The deployment of autonomous vehicles will lead to changes to policy, the legal framework – and a shift in public perception.
The PAV project has published its European Outlook 2023 report on Co-operative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM), which provides an overview of current developments and trends in CCAM for public transport in Europe.
WE-TRANSFORM 5th Stakeholder Forum Workshop 2023 will take place 13-14 June in Vienna, Austria. EU H2020 project WE-TRANSFORM project aims to create a policy agenda to prepare for the automation and related transformation of the workforce in the transport sector. The workshop will present the project's progress and discuss the following four topics:
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have the potential to radically transform the spaces we travel through and to. While many European cities have already started experimenting with autonomous mobility, much of the current discussion revolves around the technology itself and its potential social and environmental impact. But if AVs aren't properly integrated into a city's spatial planning, chances are high that it won't be able to deliver on its promised potential.
As part of the four AV pilots from the PAV pilot, Hannover Region took to the streets to launch their autonomous shuttle. Lukas Arndt and Tanja Goebler talk us through the key pilot learnings and what it means for the future.
The European Conference on Connected and Automated Driving (EUCAD2023) will take place in Brussels, Belgium from 3-4 May 2023, 08:30-17:30 CEST.
On 17 May 2023, join researchers, policymakers, automotive experts and road safety enthusiasts at Applus+ IDIADA for a showcase of the SAFE-UP project's final demonstrators.
The SAFE-UP project has published a summary of its deliverable 2.4 which focuses on the necessary steps in developing a simulation environment that can model future safety-critical scenarios involving fully autonomous vehicles.
In the SAFE-UP project's latest newsletter, Lisa Spellman, Director of the Vulnerable Road User Safety Consortium, stresses the importance of having a common vision and mission with organisations committed to improving shared road user safety.
