This report summarises the main findings on the expected impacts after introducing cooperative, connected and automated freight transport. The strengths and limitations of the theoretical and empirical work underlying these impacts are discussed, and policy considerations in the broader context of the transition to smart urban mobility are presented.

In the LEVITATE project, several methods—including a literature study, microsimulation, meso-simulation, system dynamics model, and a Delphi survey—have been used to study the expected impacts of the increasing presence of first- and second-generation automated vehicles in city traffic on the domains of environment, mobility, and society and economy. The major studied impacts in these domains include for example congestion, emissions, energy efficiency, access to travel, modal split, total kilometres travelled, parking space, road safety, public health, vehicle operating costs.
This report presents conclusions on the main impacts of Connected and Automated Vehciles and automated urban transport on environment, mobility, and society-safety-economy and it presents challenges.

This review attempts to summarize knowledge concerning the operation and enforcement of traffic laws. Attention is paid to the various aspects of the system of enforcement, such as the contents and wording of laws and rules, characteristics of punishments and the carrying out of actual control operations by police. The operation of enforcement of specific behaviour (speeding, seat belt use, and drinking-and-driving) and target groups (young drivers) will be dealt with.

Ongeveer twee derde van alle ernstige alcoholongevallen wordt
veroorzaakt door de relatief kleine groep zware alcoholovertreders
(met een bloedalcoholgehalte van 1,3 g/l of hoger). In dit rapport
inventariseren wij beschikbare kennis over de achtergronden en
kenmerken van zware en recidiverende alcoholovertreders.

In dit enquêteonderzoek staat de vraag centraal of automobilisten
geneigd zijn een lagere rijsnelheid te kiezen wanneer er borden
met Dick Bruna-illustraties langs de weg staan. Automatische
gedragsbeïnvloeding door het oproepen van associaties – hier met
kinderen en zorgzaamheid – wordt nudging genoemd.
