12th ITS European Congress
19-22 June 2017
Strasbourg, France
Stand E12
Gavin Jackman, Joan Roca, Emmanuel Bert, Aurore Remy and Lotte Koukoulá will be at the Aimsun stand at the 12th edition of the European Congress in Strasbourg.
Gavin will be moderating session SIS49 “Modelling the impact of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) on network performance” on Thursday 22nd June, 9:00-10:30, organised by Atkins and with speakers James Padden (UK Department for Transport – DfT), Jill Hayden (Atkins UK) and Daisuke Oshima (Pacific Consultants, Japan).
Session Synopsis: It is generally accepted that connected and automated vehicles could improve road capacity and safety, and offer new mobility models. But
the levels of benefits, how they evolve over time and deployment of vehicles, and the impact on network management are unclear, which has large impacts on future investment and policy making. Much work to date around the world assumes a high uptake of CAVs, but what will be the impacts in the early days with only a few vehicles deployed?
To explore this key question, the United Kingdom studied the effects of different types and penetrations of CAVs on both safety and capacity,
and on how roads are managed. This SIS will describe the key research findings and invite road operators, CAV providers and others to discuss
what this means for networks in the short, medium and long-term future. Future research needs will also be presented for discussion.
