Certification of automated transport systems

The CityMobil project “Towards advanced transport for the urban environment” aims at achieving a more effective organisation of urban transport, resulting in a more rational use of motorised traffic with less congestion and pollution, safer driving, a higher quality of living and an enhanced integration with spatial development. This paper describes a certification procedure for automated transport systems, developed in various European research projects and completed in the CityMobil project. The paper also describes the first experiences with the procedure. Furthermore the paper describes experiences with certification processes of automated systems in various countries where systems have been introduced.
