Policymaker learning path for EU-CEM
This learning path is designed for policymakers who need to understand why impact assessment matters for connected, cooperative and automated mobility. The modules below focus on the strategic and societal relevance of EU-CEM rather than on the day-to-day mechanics of evaluation planning. Together, they show why automated mobility needs careful assessment and how its effects can extend well beyond the most visible technical or safety questions.
1. Why EU-CEM matters for policymakers
This module introduces automated mobility from a policy perspective. It explains why impact assessment is essential for shaping mobility systems that support public goals, and why automated mobility may bring both benefits and unintended consequences.
Start with the embedded training video for the policy-level rationale, then open the EU-CEM Handbook page for a fuller explanation of the methodology and its structure. The EU-CEM executive summary is the quickest companion document when you want the main messages, expected benefits, and policy relevance without going straight into the full handbook, and the Tour around the handbook PDF is useful when you want a guided overview of how the handbook is organised.
2. Understanding cascading impacts
This module explores how automated mobility can influence not only safety and transport efficiency, but also land use, economy, liveability, quality of life, equity, and wider spatial and societal development.
It highlights that policymakers can play an active role in shaping how automated mobility is deployed and how its benefits and trade-offs are managed.
Use this video as a concise entry point to the wider effects of automated mobility, then continue to the broader methodology resources when you need more detail on how these impacts can be framed, discussed, and assessed in policy and project work.
