ABSTRACT
A large number of vehicles currently on the road network have some degree of connectivity and/or automation. Connected vehicles (CVs) are equipped with advanced communication technologies that allow the exchange of information between the various elements of the transport system, including vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are a catch-all term used to describe both CVs and autonomous vehicles (AVs). CAVs can be divided into three groups or typologies based on their purpose, namely passenger transport, freight and cargo transport, and precinct and facility services. In 2020, the researchers launched their Policy Expo with the aim of studying the current state of play with regards to the rollout of CAVs and their impact on the built environment. The Expo was global in scope and therefore sought to draw on evidence from a range of people and places.
