Socioeconomic Impacts of Automated and Connected Vehicle: Summary of the Sixth EU–U.S. Transportation Research Symposium

This document summarizes the proceedings of Socioeconomic Impacts of Automated and Connected Vehicles, a symposium held June 26–27, 2018, in Brussels, Belgium. Hosted by the European Commission and the Transportation Research Board (TRB), it was the sixth annual symposium sponsored by the European Commission and the United States. The invitation-only symposium brought together high-level experts to share their views on the socioeconomic impacts of connected and automated vehicles and shared mobility (CAVSM). With the aim of fostering trans-Atlantic collaboration in research and deployment, symposium participants discussed challenges and opportunities arising from the diffusion of CAVSM and innovative approaches to mitigate any negative socioeconomic impacts. A white paper was commissioned and four exploratory topic papers were developed. The exploratory topic papers address how CAVSM affects people in the freight sector and its impact on the places where people live, work, and play; on travel behavior; and on the role and attitude of stakeholders involved. The papers helped frame the discussions in the breakout sessions, which focused on formulating problem statements and subsequently identifying research topics appropriate for EU-U.S. collaboration. The white paper was presented in the opening session. Speakers discussed equity issues arising from CAVSM and developing fair transportation systems in the automated and connected era. The participants then discussed challenges, opportunities, and areas of potential research that were presented by the planning committee members in the closing plenary session, along with targeted comments and testimonies from participating experts. Concluding comments were also offered by European Commission and TRB representatives. This report features a compilation of the presentations and a factual summary of the ensuing discussions at the event, followed by EU-U.S. potential research topics on the socioeconomic impacts of CAVSM.
