There are many challenges and outcomes that must be realised to achieve these aims including technology and infrastructure development, legislative and regulatory change. However, public understanding and acceptance of the technology is required if we are to ensure that CAM technology matches end user needs, has a market and can be integrated within future transport networks. CCAV's social and behavioural research programme aims to address these and has three overarching aims: - Understand the needs and concerns of end users and public perceptions of CAM - Identify and embed these into the design of CAM technologies and services - Improve public awareness, knowledge and understanding of the technologies and expected behaviours The programme has delivered a number of large scale projects to help achieve these objectives including: - Future of Transport Deliberative Research: Understanding perceptions of safety, focusing on understanding in more depth the factors influencing perceptions of safety how this vary across different levels of automation and types of CAVs as well as understand what minimum requirements need to be addressed for the technology to be considered safe enough to use - Great Self-Driving Exploration: Looking to understand what role end users see for self-driving vehicles in a future transport system, including understanding the potential for SDVs to address currently unmet transport needs; Understand how different types of exposure to self-driving vehicles can influence perceptions and understanding; Understanding how to communicate information about self-driving vehicles effectively.
