Work Programme 2016–2017 Smart, green and integrated transport: Automated road transport

ART-02-2016: Automation pilots for passenger cars
The action will integrate and test enabling technologies for automation level 3 (Conditional
Automation) and evaluate the benefits in Field Operational Tests (FOTs) for passenger cars. Possible
additional functions towards level 4 (High Automation) can also be tested, although the focus of the
FOT should be on technologies for automation level 3. This needs the active involvement of all
stakeholders such as car manufacturers, automotive suppliers, road users, insurance companies,
road and traffic authorities, the EU Member States, etc., because the responsibility and liability of
all stakeholders relating to the testing, demonstrating and use of automated cars requires
clarification before market introduction. The FOTs should take place in at least 3 different countries.
Automation pilots for all driving situations (i.e. from highway to urban) are within scope. If
proposals include FOTs on highways, testing across borders should be considered. Consortia should
commit to make the data collected during the pilots available through common data sharing
frameworks in order to foster further research.

ART-04-2016: Safety and end-user acceptance aspects of road automation in the transition period
Proposals for research and innovation activities should address one or several of the following
domains:

Analyse user requirements, expectations and concerns (e.g. interaction with the system,
1


trust, liability, privacy concerns, security, minimum safety and performance standards, etc.)
related to the use of automated driving systems
Design safe human-machine interface and driver monitoring strategies to maximise the
intuitiveness and situation awareness; enable safe and appropriate driver take over
strategies; monitor drivers’ behaviour, predict drivers’ actions, and increase drivers’
acceptance
Safety of automated driving in mixed traffic situations. Develop fail-safe/fault tolerant
systems and solutions for highly reliable and safe operations of automated vehicles in any
kind of complex and mixed traffic situations in the transition period, also including safe
interactions with all different road users and difficult weather conditions

ART-05-2016: Road infrastructure to support the transition to automation and the coexistence of
conventional and automated vehicles on the same network
Proposals should address several of the following aspects:





New methods of traffic flow modelling depending from the introduction of automated
vehicles
Design, upgrading and adaptation of “hybrid” infrastructure (able to take into account the
coexistence of fully or partially automated (connected or autonomous) and conventional
vehicles)
Required forms of visual and electronic signalling and optical guidance, ensuring readability
by both automated and conventional vehicles, and enabling automated driving in also
adverse road weather conditions
Best ways to enlarge the electronic road horizon for automated vehicle ensuring timely
reaction to hazards ahead via real-time warnings and information, traffic management
plans, up-to-date digital maps, etc
New safety performance criteria for road infrastructure, with the goal to set the basis for a
timely deployment of automation-appropriate infrastructure network

ART-06-2016: Coordination of activities in support of road automation
Proposals should address one or two of the following areas:
Area 1:

Monitor the status of progress, coordinate and create a knowledge base on all ongoing
research and demonstration activities in Europe and in the rest of the world in the area of
2



road vehicle automation
Identify and gather a knowledge base on different automated driving scenarios in European
Countries and worldwide, taking into account the available transportation system and
infrastructure in these countries, including an analysis of the expected user behaviour for
different user groups and the impact on the economy
Create a forum for National and European stakeholders of road automation to exchange
experiences and knowledge on the development and deployment of road automation
systems and to discuss future challenges
Support cooperation activities in the area of road automation at global level, in particular
with the US and Japan
Area 2: Establish a platform of data exchange in order to let individual Field Operational Tests of
vehicle automation carried out at National and European levels benefit from each other's' learning
experiences. A strategy for sharing and exploiting collected data in National, European and
international FOTs should be developed.
For both areas, in line with the Union's strategy for international cooperation in research and
innovation [[COM(2012)497]], international cooperation is encouraged. In particular, proposals
should foresee twinning with entities participating in projects funded by US DOT [[United States
Department of Transportation.]] to exchange knowledge and experience and exploit synergies.
