CARTRE Workshop: Large-scale automation pilots on public roads in Europe

The European Commission, supported by the CARTRE consortium, will organise a workshop on “large-scale automation pilots on public roads in Europe” on 16 December 2016 in Brussels.

The participants will consist of a number of representatives from countries who are currently running or very soon will run public road pilots with automated vehicles. The objective will be to gain an overview of ongoing automated driving demonstration pilots across Europe and to understand common issues and concerns associated with such tests. By sharing the main challenges in enabling public road tests, as well as experiences and results so far, valuable insights will be gained on how to leverage such pilots and demonstrations towards deployment.

Each country will give a description of its large-scale public road pilots activities or plans. The workshop will then focus on discussing different cooperation aspects such as commonalities, data, deployment barriers etc.

Presentations of ongoing large-scale public road pilots in different countries will form the core of the workshop:

• Austria
• Belgium
• Belgium – Flanders
• Germany
• Hellas
• Spain
• Finland
• France
• Netherlands
• Sweden
• United Kingdom
