Considering the expected societal impacts of automated vehicles in urban areas with the EU Common Evaluation Methodology
Worldwide, many pilots are carried out with automated vehicles. Possible effects are evaluated, but often in a limited way. With growing maturity of automated vehicle concepts, it is becoming more important to be able to assess the broader implications of the automated mobility systems or services and their use on people and society – so city authorities and public transport providers can consider how automated mobility can help them achieve their goals. The newly developed EU Common Evaluation Methodology (EUCEM) can be used to assess whether goals can be met, regarding the three pillars of sustainability: economy, society and ecology.

Isabel Wilmink, TNO Isabel Wilmink studied Civil Engineering at Delft University of Technology and joined TNO as a traffic engineer in 1995. She has extensive experience in projects on sustainable traffic management and connected, cooperative and automatic driving, and scenario and evaluation studies on the effects of innovative traffic measures on different dimensions of welfare beyond GDP. This includes looking at the functioning of the mobility system and the impact of the mobility system on the living environment, accessibility, safety and health. Also, the distributional effects of measures on population groups, regions and time periods are taken into account. |
