Measuring Efficiency of Automated Road Freight Transport: The AWARD Approach
Completion requirements
Autonomous vehicles will be a key ingredient of future road transport solutions. Even
if significant progress has been made in technological developments and autonomous transport
vehicle demonstrations, there are still challenges to be addressed before widespread adoption
can occur, e.g., 24/7 availability in harsh weather conditions. Quantifying the performance of
autonomous vehicles is crucial for logistics operators when deploying such solutions. This
paper presents KPIs related to autonomous road freight transport. Furthermore, the evaluation
methodology of the European H2020 project AWARD related to the efficiency of autonomous
vehicles is presented and initial insights from the project are sketched.
