Abstract

In Europe, several test sites have recently been opened to validate automated driving functions. However, there
are limited initiatives for freight transport and logistics compared to passenger transport. The aim of this paper is
to demonstrate how a test region for automated transport logistics can be built up in Austria. A profound feasibility
study was conducted to investigate organisational, technical and economic requirements for a successful
implementation and operation of the test region. A stakeholder consultation process was set up to collect specific
needs of various target groups, including interviews, focus groups and workshops. Overall, the results of the
feasibility study show that automated driving in the area of transport logistics is a highly important topic, which is
supported by industry and shows profitable potential. Based on the study results, future work will comprise the
planning, implementation and operation of the actual test region within a time frame of at least five years.
