If you are a trucking fleet operator dealing with potential driver shortages or job displacement due to automation — this project developed a social impact assessment model that analyzes economic consequences. This helps you plan your workforce transition and identify new roles for your staff.
Workforce Transition Strategy for Connected and Automated Vehicle Deployment
Imagine a world where cars drive themselves, but no one knows how to fix them or manage the traffic. This project creates a guidebook and digital tools to help workers learn the new skills they need before their old jobs disappear. It is like a weather forecast for the job market, telling companies exactly what training to provide so the shift to automation doesn't leave people behind.
What needed solving
Companies adopting automated mobility face a massive skills gap and the risk of workforce displacement. Without a clear plan for reskilling, the transition to new technology could lead to operational failures and social backlash.
What was built
An interactive online tool for employment estimation, a social impact assessment model, and a set of new educational curricula for the CCAM value chain.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a training center dealing with outdated curricula that don't match modern vehicle tech — this project developed new curricula and reskilling programs. This allows you to offer certified courses that meet the actual demand of the automated mobility value chain.
If you are a software developer dealing with a lack of specialized talent to deploy road-based systems — this project developed an innovation radar to monitor tech progress. This helps you anticipate exactly which professional skills will be needed to scale your technology.
