This document discusses autonomous intelligent cars (AICs) and addresses related issues of liability and privacy. It notes that while AICs promise benefits like increased safety, mobility, and reduced emissions, the current EU regulatory framework creates legal uncertainty that can hamper their development and acceptance. On liability, there is no harmonized approach for motor vehicles, and product liability laws may struggle with assessing causation involving autonomous systems. AIC tracking data could help determine causes of accidents but raises privacy issues as it may contain personal information. The document argues the rules on liability and privacy protection need optimization to encourage both development and adoption of AICs.

Detecting causes of low urban accessibility: a comparative approachMarcin Stępniak
This document summarizes a study that used a comparative approach to analyze urban accessibility in Madrid, Spain. It calculated accessibility to jobs from origin-destination pairs using different transport scenarios for private cars and public transit. The study found that private cars provided much higher accessibility than public transit. Accessibility was highest in central areas and lowest in peripheries for both transport modes. For public transit, travel times varied more in peripheries and were more affected by frequencies. The analysis identified constraints on accessibility to help define policy responses to improve transport equity and sustainability.
The document discusses European funding programmes for transportation projects. It provides an overview of EU project participation and funding opportunities. As an example, it summarizes the ECOSTARS project which established a membership scheme across Europe to recognize best practices in energy efficient fleet transportation.

15. • Current status of accident cost calculations in the European countries:
– General structure of valuation methods:
• complies with recommendations of former EU projects (Component structure, valuation
methods), e.g. COST 313, HEATCO, UNITE
– Definitions of ‘fatality’ and ‘injured victim’
• ‘Fatality’ is defined consistently in all EU countries
• ‘Seriously injured’ has very different definitions
– Components and the included items
• Different combinations in every country (see next slide)
– Underreporting
• Is considered in very few countries

16. • Inclusion of the additional injury category ‘MAIS 3+’
• Average unit costs per casualty
– Include medical costs, production loss and human costs
– Not included: property damage and administrative costs
• Dealing with Underreporting

Next Deliverable: Development of calculation options with an emphasis on VRU
Injury: slight < serious < ‘MAIS3+‘ < fatal
17. • What type validation is best/feasible?
• What conflict indicators are most valid?
• Performance improvement of technical tools
• Accident cost calculation: What are the options to adapt it to VRU?
• Handbook of safety analysis for vulnerable road users
Remaining work
