Regulatory Framework and Safety Demonstration Principles in France
Abstract
Automated road transport mobility will develop only if fundamental conditions are fulfilled: acceptance by users and citizens, economic sustainability, contribution to a more sustainable mobility and last but not least, demonstration of its safety. Fulfillment of these conditions needs to be addressed by policymakers through regulations, standards, guidance, assessments and stakeholders’ involvement. France built its regulatory framework on this balance by assuming safety will be the main factor for other conditions for the development of automated road transport systems to be reached. This paper presents how France has set up its national framework for the development of automated road mobility, integrating various policy challenges in a safety-first based approach.

Public Sector Integration of Connected and Automated Vehicles: Considerations, Benefits and Sharing Data Across Borders
Abstract
As the transportation landscape changes, accommodations for Connected and/or Automated Vehicles (CAV, AV and CV) must be considered. For this paper, CAV is referring to the technology available on the roadway now and what is anticipated soon – mostly the SAE International Levels 1 and 2 (SAE Levels of Driving Automation™ Refined for Clarity and International Audience). CAV considerations for freight and multimodal will not be discussed in this paper. The dynamic nature of CAV Levels 3, 4 and 5 leaves much to research. Public sector agencies in the United States are shifting focus to automated mobility, but with an increasing focus on near-term market ready technologies. Public outreach and education, coordination with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), policy and legislation and cross-border collaboration are also integral considerations.

Paradigm Shift Beyond Business-As-Usual for Automated Road Transportation to Contribute to Climate-Neutral Smart Cities
Abstract
One of the major challenges for society today is to reach environmental goals. Around the world governments aim to reduce transportation emissions and are investing in a diverse set of strategies, including connected cooperative and automated mobility. Many discussions about automated road transportation technologies revolve around automation feasibility, improving safety and improving the efficiency of transport networks, but we have not fully explored the potential of automation as a catalyst or enabler to transform society to an ecologically sustainable state. This chapter discusses ways that connected and automated technologies can address climate concerns as addressed at the ARTS22 workshop on automated road technologies and climate change.

Innovation Strategies and Research Trends for Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility in Europe
Abstract
Exploring the forefront of innovation strategies and research trends, the future of connected, cooperative, and automated mobility (CCAM) in Europe promises to revolutionize the transportation landscape, paving the way for sustainable, efficient, and inclusive transportation systems [1]. Therefore, this chapter discusses the challenges and solutions for the deployment of CCAM technologies in Europe related in particular to coordination and cross sector stakeholder engagement. Despite the technical advancements and numerous Research and Innovation (R&I) and testing activities, multiple barriers remain, such as limited demand, lack of technical maturity, scattered research efforts, and inadequate demonstration and scale-up. The CCAM Partnership plays a crucial role in overcoming these obstacles by creating a unified, long-term R&I agenda. Under the umbrella of the CCAM Partnership 18 projects have been funded so far. The project objectives and thematic assignments corresponding to R&I priorities identified by the Partnership, are described in this paper. Furthermore, the role of the FAME project supporting the European CCAM ecosystem by fostering knowledge exchange, best practices, and international collaboration is highlighted. Finally, the CCAM ecosystem with respect to the R&I projects will be discussed.

The Trip Characteristics of a Pilot Autonomous Vehicle Rider Program: Revealing Late Night Service Needs and Desired Increases in Service Quality, Reliability and Safety
Abstract
A substantial and growing body of literature has provided educated guesses and transportation demand modeling about how riders might behave in autonomous vehicles (AVs). No studies to-date have explored how riders behave when given access to rides in these new modes of transportation, and how AVs can help address lingering transportation challenges in the city, such as transit deserts, congestion, and increased sustainable modes of transport. This paper evaluates a first-of-its-kind program, offering passengers autonomous rides in Cruise vehicles between the hours of 11:00pm-5:00am when transit services are less prevalent. Results indicate that more than 76% of reported travel by AV riders was mode substitution, largely diverting from rideshare and transit. Over 55% of trips replaced rideshare travel—most of these trips were for social/recreational and shopping/errands. These results suggest that most AV trips may not create induced or latent demand but rather provide an opportunity to address network gaps and last mile connectivity. The results hold additional promise as the importance and popularity of new shared vehicle solutions emerge in the marketplace.

Surrogate Measures of Automated Vehicle Safety
Abstract
Surrogate measures of traffic safety replace collision statistics as a means of assessing the safety of a roadway, intersection, vehicle, or mobility system. Effective and consistent surrogate measures of traffic risk and safety that will be useful to ADS stakeholders — including AV developers, traffic infrastructure developers and managers, regulators, legislators, and the public — will have a number of essential characteristics, including monotonicity and scalability.
Trailing indicators, such as collision statistics, are a poor methodology for improving safety, In addition, the use of trailing indicators incurs pain and loss on society, and is not an ethically acceptable approach. Leading indicators, based on non-collision interactions, include: Traffic Conflicts, Time-to-Collision (TTC), Post-Encroachment Time (PET), Instantaneous Safety Metric (ISM), harsh accelerations and turns (generally measured by an inertial measurement unit (IMU)), AV Control System Disengagements, and near-misses or near-crash events.
Surrogate measures, reviewed here, gather, process, and in some cases predict traffic movement, or control system behavior, and produce a (sometimes quantitative) score reflecting the riskiness or safeness of the behavior of vehicles in traffic.

Introducing ODD-SAF: An Operational Design Domain Safety Assurance Framework for Automated Driving Systems
Abstract
Over the past years, there has been an increasing acceptance on the need for scenario-based testing to ensure safe performance of Automated Driving Systems (ADS). This is a departure from earlier conceptions where number of miles driven was being considered as the only way of demonstrating safety. As ADS show a great degree of variety in their complexity, use cases, as well as Operational Design Domain (ODD), a scalable and pragmatic approach for safety assurance of ADS, the ODD-SAF, is therefore proposed. The ODD-SAF relies on the ODD description and leverages on the EU and UNECE discussions around ADS safety requirements and assessment methods to generate behavioural competencies for the overall safety assurance. The approach extends with the identification of test scenarios, classified into nominal, critical and failure types, and pass-fail criteria, leveraging for example the concept of rules of the road and safety models for driving behaviour. It is suggested that a SAF should incorporate each of the categories of the test scenarios to ensure confidence in the performance of the ADS.

Inconsistency of AV Impacts on Traffic Flow: Predictions in Literature
Abstract
In the literature, automated vehicle (AV) modeling studies tend to depict positive impacts of AV technologies on traffic. However, recent field experiments of production AVs (production vehicles with automated driving features) showed negative impacts on traffic flow stability and capacity. These inconsistencies may hinder the development and deployment of AV technologies. To identify major causes of the discrepancy, a breakout session was held at the 2022 Transportation Research Board (TRB) Automated Road Transportation Symposium (ARTS). Leading researchers from academia, industry, and government agencies were invited to present their thoughts on the issue. This book chapter summarizes the essence of the presentations and discussions at the breakout session. It provides insights into the modeling and simulation of AVs, AV technology development, and traffic management in the era of AVs.

Interactive Traffic Management for Highly Automated Vehicles
Abstract
This chapter summarizes part of the presentations and discussions that took place at the Automated Road Transportation Symposium 2022 (ARTS22) during the breakout session titled “Interactive Traffic Management for Highly Automated Vehicles”, complemented with further material and reflections by the authors.
The chapter deals with traffic management in the presence of highly automated vehicles capable of driverless operation in specific Operational Design Domains (ODD). The aim is to present and discuss challenges related to the design and implementation of traffic management measures from multiple perspectives, covering the exchanged messages, the digitization of traffic codes and regulations, the impact on efficiency, and the human factors and reactions to traffic management measures. The potential to increase and optimize the performance of highly automated vehicles by providing external information will also be explored by introducing the concept of Distributed ODD attribute Value Awareness (DOVA).
