Conclusions There will be significant positive benefits at level 3 but even more at level 4 A lot of investments are needed in early phases How to handle the transition phases? From mixed traffic to full automation From human operator to human driver To build on C-ITS, connected driving An article in English to be published CityMobil2 Reference Group meeting 30 March 2015 La Rochelle Pirkko Rämä and Satu Innamaa
Scenario of a Booking Service for Demand- Responsive Autonomous Road Transport The study identified challenges and set goals for the booking service and autonomous road transport A booking system meeting the goals set out in the study was defined 7
Intelligent automated transport
Vision 2020 Automated transport solutions are an everyday occurrence on land, at sea and in the air, and they are used solve a variety of challenges related to the servicitization of transport in urban and rural areas Mobility as a Service (MaaS) Data & information Automated transport Pricing Infrastructure lvm.fi 9
Goals Providing an enabling regulatory framework that makes it enticing for international actors to implement pilots in Finland Fostering a feasible and lively ecosystem of intelligent automated transport Building a globally unique information-based infrastructure for intelligent automated transport that takes advantage of Finnish special expertise areas including our Arctic snow-how Widely using and developing services that are based on intelligent automated transport lvm.fi 10
Finnish enablers Strong existing commitment also at the political level to actively promote intelligent automation ICT expertise and infrastructure Building an information-based road transport infrastructure Robotics skills Sensors, location & mapping, programming & software Arctic snow-how If it works in Finland, it works anywhere! Winter testing of automated vehicles significant winter testing already taking place for regular cars lvm.fi 11
Road transport Regulatory issues Driver liability is at the core every vehicle needs a driver But: the driver does not have to be inside the vehicle remote control is possible Moving away from absolute driver liability as the level of automation increases and the role of the driver lessens Automated driving trials possible in Finland on public roads using professional license plate certificates Single contact point for any testing related issue: http://www.trafi.fi/en/road/automated_vehicles_trials Pushing for more enabling regulation in international forums (UNECE) 12
Road transport Fast V2X communication using existing ICT infra NordicWay project: V2X communication using mobile network infrastructure Living labs for intelligent automated road transport Northern Finland: challenging arctic conditions City of Tampere: an emerging ITS ecosystem of SME actors Helsinki region: world-class public transport system, electric busses as testing platforms 13
TITLE A CTS FOR Vantaa THE Demonstration NEW ROME EXHIBITION Gabriele Giustiniani, ITR 11/3/2015
CityMobil2 - project Multi-stakeholder project co-funded by the EU s Seventh Framework Programme The main objective of CityMobil2 is to remove the main barriers to the implementation of automated road transport systems in cities. A dozen local authorities or equivalent sites are applied to be one of the five sites to host a 6-month demonstration Real-life demonstrations Showroom for need technologies To change attitudes User feedback Discussion legal issues 15
CityMobil2 - cities Italy: Oristano, Milano Finland: Vantaa Spain: San Sebastian, Leon France: La Rochelle, Sophia- Antipolis Greece: Trikala Belgium: Bryssel Switzerland: Commune de Saint- Sulpice (Lausanne), CERN campus 16
Vantaa demonstration Demonstration will take place at Kivistö residential area during the Housing Fair on July on 2015 The Housing Fair is the biggest annual summer event in Finland Estimated visitors 150 000 200 000 Goal is to introduce automated busses for the general public, stakeholders and decision makers Operates from Kivistö train station to the Housing Fair gate Demonstration period 9.7. 9.8.2015

NordicWay Interoperability Key issue in NordicWay corridor deployments Vehicles and users from any NordicWay country have to be able to use the NordicWay services in all parts of the NordicWay corridor/network: NordicWay Roaming Common ISO/CEN/ETSI C-ITS standards and identical ways to utilise them Specific budgets have been reserved to facilitate interoperability 23.5.2015 Risto Kulmala 28
