Purpose and goal
The goal of the pre-study was in a structured way understand challenges, describe the systems implications and show how to measure the impact of automated transport solutions in different future societies and thereby support the control of the national transport policy goals. A feasibility study report that describes how the macro level can derive the transport policy objectives to the individual parameters on the micro-level. By using a methodology (e.g The SEVS Way) it is possible to manage the complexity, both at the macro and micro levels simultaneously.
Expected results and effects
A feasibility study report describes a methodology on how to measure the effects of an automated transport system to the national transport policy goals. By demonstrating the methodology for breaking down the transport policy objectives at multiple levels all the way down to the parameter level, identify potential conflicts of objectives, agree on how and what to measure, etc., it is possible to more reliably understand the complex system, both at the macro and Micro-level and thus make it possible to steer towards these targets.
Planned approach and implementation
By using The Way SEVS methodology, the Driving Force Model, Driving Force Stories, scenarios, use cases, derivation of targets at macro level to the micro level, etc., the team worked structured through the whole process. Important to notice is that the project has a deeper insight into the importance of managing complexity at both the macro and micro level, at the same time to be able to make reasonable analyzes and assessments. Without the use of use cases the analysis results might be too general.
