Large scale introduction of automated transport -Which legal and administrative barriers are present?

The CityMobil project "Towards advanced transport for the urban environment" aims at achieving a more effective organisation of urban transport, resulting in a more rational use of motorised traffic with less congestion and pollution, safer driving, a higher quality of living and an enhanced integration with spatial development. This should be achieved by promoting the introduction of advanced technologies into the transport environment. The concepts, methods and tools developed in CityMobil will be validated and demonstrated in a number of different European cities under different circumstances, representing the first stages of automated transport systems that are really integrated in an urban environment. This paper presents an overview of legal and administrative barriers that detain or are in the way of large scale introduction of advanced transport systems. For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
