The project will investigate the effects of automated driving in the so-called transition phase. During this transition phase, automated driving is expected to be limited to individual sections of the road network with low complexity and low risk levels. According to the technological maturity, the impacts will increase. The differentiated consideration of the impacts during the transition period should provide RZU members with valuable insights for spatial and transport policy and support the achievement of existing spatial planning objectives in the RZU area.
