It gathers original peer-reviewed works based on contributions to the plenary and breakout sessions of the Automated Road Transportation Symposium (ARTS 2023), held on July 9-13, 2023, in San Francisco, CA, USA. The chapters were selected and reviewed by the book editors, together with a number of experts in automated mobility, who were also involved in organizing different sessions at the above-mentioned conference. Written by researchers, engineers and analysts from around the globe, this book offers multidisciplinary perspectives on the opportunities and challenges associated with automating road transportation. It highlights innovative strategies, including public policies, infrastructure planning and automation technologies, which are expected to foster more sustainable and safer mobility in the near future, thereby addressing industry, government and research communities alike.
