Considering the Expected Societal Impacts of Automated Vehicles in Urban Areas With the EU Common Evaluation Methodology


Location: Room - Opal II

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.


Presenters


Jeroen Beukers Jeroen Beukers, Head of Innovation Automated Driving & Smart Mobility, TPG - Transports Publics Genevois

Jeroen works at Transports Publics Genevois, the public transport operator in the Swiss Canton of Geneva, where he manages the EU Horizon funded Enflate, Sinnogenes and Ultimo projects. Within the framework of these projects, the TPG showcases a 100% automated, full scale on-demand, shared, door2door, dynamically routed, public transport service with a fleet of automated low-emission mini busses serving a large number of virtual bus-stops and connected to the existing transport network Jeroen also represents SAAM. As the leading autonomous mobility platform in Switzerland,


Julia Friedlander Julia Friedlander, Senior Manager: Automated Driving Policy, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA)

Julia Friedlander's career in public infrastructure, policy, and law in New York and San Francisco has centered on transformational policy, regulatory and social change. These included the HIV public health crisis, deregulation of telecommunications markets at the dawn of the broadband age, LGBT civil rights and marriage equality movements, and restructuring of San Francisco transportation governance to support multi-modal use of public streets. She served as General Counsel to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency for 11 years and - after a sojourn outside transportation - returned to the SFMTA to focus on federal, state and local policy on automated driving.


Satu Innamaa Dr.Satu Innamaa, Principal Scientist, VTT

Dr. Satu Innamaa works as Principal Scientist at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. She has over 25 years of experience in research on transport and mobility, connected and automated driving, impact assessment and user needs. In the last years, her work has had a strong focus on evaluation methodologies. Currently, she is leading methodology work both in European Hi-Drive and FAME projects, related to automated driving. Satu is Certified Senior Project Manager, IPMA Level B.


Isabel Wilmink Isabel Wilmink, Ir., 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.
