Framework for assessing the impacts of automated driving

Members of the Trilateral Working Group on Automation in Road Transportation (ART WG) have been working
to address the complexity of impacts caused by automated driving. They are setting up a high-level impact
assessment framework to coordinate the impact assessments performed in the field of automated driving. The
paper presents this framework. It gives recommendations for classifying automation implementations and
determining impact areas to be assessed. It also presents the impact mechanisms through which automated driving
is expected to impact our life, covering both direct and indirect impacts. In addition, recommendations are provided
for experimental procedure, simulation approach and data sharing.
