Imagine trying to launch a self-driving car service in five different cities, but people in each city have totally different fears and needs. Instead of guessing, this work creates a 'star rating' system to see if a transport solution is actually fair and easy for everyone to use. It's like a guidebook that helps companies design robot-taxis that locals will actually trust and use.
Connected and Automated Vehicles (CCAM) often fail to gain public trust because they are designed without considering local cultural or geographical differences. This leads to low adoption rates and inefficient deployment in diverse urban environments.
A Five-Pointed Star Rating system to measure mobility equity and a participatory planning toolkit for deploying automated vehicles.
If you are an autonomous shuttle operator dealing with low passenger adoption in diverse neighborhoods — this project developed a Five-Pointed Star Rating system that identifies gaps in inclusivity and safety to increase user trust.
If you are a city planning department dealing with the complexity of integrating automated cars into existing traffic — this project developed a participatory planning toolkit that aligns technology deployment with local community needs.
If you are a CCAM software developer dealing with the challenge of scaling a product across different European countries — this project developed guidelines and standards that account for geographical and cultural diversity.
Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing or cost information provided for the tools developed.
The project tests its concepts in 5 real-world demonstration sites to ensure the tools are transferable to different contexts.
Based on available project data, specific IP or licensing details are not mentioned; however, the project focuses on creating guidelines and standards.
The project reviews existing standards and pilots across 14 European projects to help navigate different regulatory environments.
The project period runs from 2024-05-01 to 2027-04-30, suggesting the final results will be ready by April 2027.
The consortium is diverse, comprising 18 partners across 10 countries. While it has a strong academic and research base (7 partners), there is a significant industrial presence with 4 companies (22% industry ratio), including 2 SMEs, ensuring that the tools for automated mobility are grounded in commercial reality.
