CAV Impacts on Road Safety + Road Network Performance

CAVs may offer significant benefits for network performance, but evidence is limited. DfT has recently completed an analysis of potential impacts of CAVs on traffic flow and road capacity. However this did not examine wider issues on how CAVs could affect network traffic - this research seeks to further address two of these areas, safety and alternative use of road space for different vehicles and speeds: Safety - our previous research indicated significant potential benefits for journey times, delay and reliabilit...
