Session Description :
European and international transport is faced with several challenges. Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, automation stood out as a possible solution to many of these challenges. This session brings together three ongoing EU-funded projects, demonstrating automated transport in different scenarios, ranging from urban logistics (HARMONY) and personal shared mobility (SHOW), to an overall automated logistic chain in all weather conditions (AWARD).
Leading experts from industry, academia, and international association explore several topics, from vehicle engineering, to simulation and modelling, to actual pilot demonstrations and user acceptance. This session highlights the first findings of these projects to cooperatively shape some useful recommendations towards a fully automated transport system, especially directed to city and regional authorities, as well as to transport operators. This panel discussion ultimately aims at stressing the importance of new technologies as a successful means to meet societal and environmental goals.
The benefit of this panel discussion is at least twofold. On the one hand, it contributes to the transferability of the project results, as it spans across almost twenty different European countries. On the other hand, it showcases the achievements made possible by the Horizon 2020 programme and helps stress the role of the European Union worldwide.
