ERAdiate Lecture Series #3: Connected and Autonomous Driving
October 8, 2018
Digitalisation has created the technological conditions for the development of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV). It will have impacts on safety and traffic management, but also, more widely, on mobility behaviour, the environment, employment and social inclusion. The development CAV will, in turn, generate an increasing amount of data. This is providing greater quantities and quality of the data available for transport planning and management, as well as for new features and services to transport users, including innovative business models.
The event will present and address platooning as an emergent vehicular application with collaboratively and co-ordinately controlled connected vehicles; the state-of-the of this technology will be explained and related recent R&D projects in Europe will be referred, demonstrate how the H2020 Innovation Action “AUTOPILOT” will progress automated driving with IoT.
The discussion will then focus on the possible effects of automated driving on the economy, employment and skills and is integrated into the definition of an EU approach towards CCAM by strengthening the Commission’s understanding of the societal aspects linked to it.
The event is open to the research community (Postdocs, PhD students and researchers).
