Project description
Driving home the driverless car
Driverless cars are destined to open new avenues in the realm of mobility. But attitudes towards connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) remain lukewarm overall. Safety is one of the main concerns. With this in mind, the EU-funded PAsCAL project will address issues related to the interaction of ‘users’ in or near CAVs. It will also study the impact of connected transport on people’s well-being, quality of life and equity. As an international project, it will develop a multidimensional map of public acceptance of higher levels of CAVs, investigating the ‘new driver’ needs considering different modes and mobility services. In this context, the project will develop guidelines and recommendations to accelerate the evolution of CAV transport systems.
Objective
The 36-month PAsCAL project proposes an awareness-driven and large-scale penetration approach to address all issues raised by the majority (if not all) of the general public that hinder the wide market uptake of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV). It will not only focus on the interaction of the “users” in or near CAV, but also assess the impact of connected transport on people’s well-being, quality of life, and equity. PAsCAL will use of a strongly interdisciplinary mix of innovative tools from both human science and technology, to capture the public’s acceptance and attitude, analyse and assess their concerns, model and simulate realistic scenarios for hand-on practices, and validate the research innovation in a number of trials in the real world. The association to the consortium of special categories of users, such as disabled persons, and of service providers with a global outreach of millions of members and several thousand customers across the EU will ensure results consistency, taking into account major social obstacles/barriers that may hinder the acceptance of CAV and would allow their reuse in new businesses, services and applications.
