Evaluation of automated road transport systems in cities

The CityMobil2 project produced an evaluation framework for the ARTS, in order to provide evidence as to the credibility, form and implementation strategy for ARTS from a series of demonstrations. The evaluation framework has led to the building of blocks of knowledge that are sufficient to move to larger deployments that will test the ARTS as part of a comprehensive approach to a more sustainable transport. The evolution of the ARTS vehicles over the course of the project has been considerable, and the next stage of deployment should enable the full benefits to be quantified. In this chapter, the main results of the three CityMobil2 large-scale demonstrations (La Rochelle, Trikala and Lausanne) and three small-scale demonstrations (Oristano, Vantaa and San Sebastián) are reported, based on the guidelines provided by the evaluation framework.
