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.
