Deliverable 1.2. Model and guidelines depicting key psychological factors that explain and promote public acceptability of CAV among different user groups

In this deliverable, we describe the development of the psychological acceptance model with the intention to explain public acceptability of CAV among different types of user groups within the EU. In order to develop this model, focus groups (N = 70) and a large scale survey (N = 3783) were conducted within multiple European countries. We first discuss the findingsof the focus groups, followed by the results of the large scale survey

Acceptability and Acceptance of Connected Automated Vehicles:A Literature Review and Focus Groups

A lot of resources and manpower are being allocated to develop Connected Automated Vehicles (CAV). CAV are Automated Vehicles (AV) with vehicle connectivity abilities to further increase road safety and user convenience. For a successful implementation of CAV, the psychological factors that predict its acceptance have to be researched. The present paper provides a literature review of the individual differences and perceived characteristics that could influence CAV's acceptance.
