This session touches on a key bottleneck for the uptake of CCAM in Europe. For too many key stakeholders, it is not entirely clear how systemic impacts contribute to the safety of cyclists, pedestrians and cyclists, and more generally to a better transport and mobility future for all. How can we effectively learn from all these projects and smart real-world trials? What are ambitious narratives and what is really helpful expectation management? What can be learned from pioneering real-world demonstrations on a European scale? Bringing these loose ends together is a guiding principle for this highly interactive session. Forging innovative outcomes and systemic impacts will be this next step. We delve into some of the rationales of ongoing and recently launched lighthouse demonstration projects, link a variety of evaluation processes and work on an outlook for the future. This highly interactive session brings together a representative of a pioneering urban environment on her rationale and outlook; an innovative global OEM on her rationale; two experts on systemic impact assessment from academia; two experts on public communication, standardisation and expectation management in clean, safe and resilient transport for all (one SME, one public stakeholder organisation). We invited key individuals into the audience – from Flanders, Italy and from the European Commission. This session effectively supports the overall conference theme by directly addressing the elephant in the room including some foreseen cross-fertilisation during the Seville conference.
