The project AUTO-NOM will identify and quantify the changes in mobility, graded according to the classes of automated driving (level 3 to 5 acc. to SAE standard). Therefore, the potential of automated driving will be identified first. Second, the impacts on mobility behaviour (modal split, transport services, etc.) will be assessed through traffic modelling. The results will be applied on three levels (national level, state level and city level). At the same time, the relevant legal framework will be analysed. In addition, there will be an assessment of the point at which each level of automated driving (levels 3 to 5 acc. to SAE standard) will be achievable. For this, a Delphi method will be used, and traffic experts, as well as legal experts, will be questioned. The results will be compared to Austria’s transport policy objectives (e.g. the overall traffic plan). In addition, a list of essential measures to adapt the infrastructure will be produced. Austria’s international competitiveness, as well as its ability to adapt to new technologies, shall be secured.
