Overview
Background & policy context:
We can consider that the most recent developments of the vehicles are:
- the massive deployment of sensors, actuators and computers allowing to develop a kind of "vehicle and transport system intelligence";
- their ability to communicate among themselves or with the infrastructure through the concept of cooperative systems;
- the introduction of electric motor combined or not with thermal motor: hybrid vehicles or full electric vehicles.
All these changes are beneficial for both the car manufacturers, cycling manufacturers, road networks operators and transport users (drivers or simple users).
Objectives:
This report attempts to describe the key issues and the latest advances around these important developments.
