Joint workshop of ARCADE CAD Stakeholder Network and ERTRAC Working Group on “Connectivity and Automated Driving”

In preparation of the ERTRAC Connected and Automated Driving (CAD) roadmap, the Joint Stakeholder Workshop of the ARCADE CAD Network and ERTRAC Working Group on “Connectivity and Automated Driving” was held on 5-6 February 2019 in Brussels.

Since the project ARCADE has taken over the work from CARTRE in October 2018, thematic areas have been created. The aim of these thematic areas was to start identifying and investigating key uncertainties blocking a fast introduction of CAD and to analyse the resulting scenarios for 2030 – 2050 (from the different angles of the respective themes).

This workshop aimed to get feedback on the thematic areas’ initial findings and scenarios, using as a focus three categories of use-cases (passenger car, freight vehicles and urban mobility vehicles). Based on this feedback and the workshop results, the draft scenarios were refined and consolidated into a roadmap. This roadmap, which is continuously updated in the course of the project, was as input to the new ERTRAC roadmap on Automated Driving. The objective was to finalize and present the results at the EUCAD 2019 Conference on 2-3 April 2019 as well as the ERTRAC annual conference on April 4th.
