  This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 724086.  

Title

Coordination of Automated Road Transport Deployment for Europe

Concept

Automated Road Transport (ART) is seen as one of the key technologies and major technological advancements influencing and shaping our future mobility and quality of life. The ART technology encompasses passenger cars, public transport vehicles, and urban and interurban freight transport and also extends to the road, IT and telecommunication infrastructure needed to guarantee safe and efficient operations of the vehicles.

In this framework, CARTRE is accelerating development and deployment of automated road transport by increasing market and policy certainties. CARTRE supports the development of clearer and more consistent policies of EU Member States in collaboration with industry players ensuring that ART systems and services are compatible on a EU level and are deployed in a coherent way across Europe.

Success story

From 3 April 2017 to 4 April 2017, the European Commission organised the 1st European Conference on Connected and Automated Driving with the support of the Horizon 2020 projects CARTRE and SCOUT. During the conference, EU and national authorities as well as industry representatives had the opportunity to discuss transport policy issues such as technological and regulatory challenges concerning connected and automated driving technologies.
