LEVITATE
2018 - 2021
LEVITATE
The goal? To bridge the data and knowledge gap on the impacts of connected and automated transport systems (CATS) in terms of safety, mobility, environment and economic growth.
LEVITATE project aimed to prepare a new impact assessment framework to enable policymakers to manage the introduction of connected and automated transport systems, maximise the benefits and utilise the technologies to achieve societal objectives.
LEVITATE stands for ‘Societal Level Impacts of Connected and Automated Vehicles. The €6.4 million EU-funded (Horizon 2020) project is led by Loughborough University, bringing together twelve partners (including POLIS, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, The Institute of Transport Economics and others) from ten countries including renowned research institutes, local authorities and global partners. Project work is being conducted in cities including POLIS members, Manchester and Vienna.
Stakeholder Reference Group
LEVITATE will reach out to a variety of stakeholders to ensure a continuous and purposeful dialogue with the most relevant experts and future users outside the project consortium. Stakeholders, in particular public authorities, road users, researchers and industry players, will be invited to bring in their views and requirements and to provide feedback on project tasks and activities.
