FESTA Handbook to inspire the work of the (Automation) Impact Assessment Subgroup within the Trilateral ITS Cooperation

Automation in Road Transportation Working Group (ART WG) of the Trilateral (EU-US-JPN) ITS Cooperation formed a new subgroup for Impact Assessment (IA) last spring.

The aim of this subgroup is to create a harmonized high-level evaluation framework for assessing the impacts of automation in road transportation.

The motivation to create such framework is to enable meta-analysis, design tests and studies to maximize the insight obtained, and to be able to arrange complementary evaluation across the world. FOT-Net’s FESTA handbook will be one of the baselines for creation of the harmonised framework.

The experts in IA subgroup also share best practices and results. The subgroup is co-chaired by Satu Innamaa (VTT), Scott Smith (US DOT) and Nobuyuki Uchida (Japan Automobile Research Institute).
