Teleoperation of Highly Automated Vehicles in Public Transport: User-Centered Design of a Human-Machine Interface for Remote-Operation and Its Expert Usability Evaluation
Paving the way to future mobility, teleoperation of vehicles promises a reachable solution to effectively use the benefits of automated driving as long as fully automated vehicles (SAE 5) are not entirely feasible. Safety and reliability are assured by a human operator who remotely observes the vehicle and takes over control in cases of disturbances […]

What can Self-Driving Cars learn from Aviation?
Stantec GenerationAV™ Director Corey Clothier talks to Jerry Leekey and Joe Jones, founders of Icarus Ops, about how autonomous vehicle technology can benefit from aviation industry best practices. Autonomous vehicle (AV) technology can lead to tremendous safety gains and more efficient transportation. Yet there are considerable barriers to adoption, including communication protocols, infrastructure standards, and […]
Sharing the road with autonomous vehicles: A qualitative analysis of the perceptions of pedestrians and bicyclists
Public perception assessment is important for gaining a better understanding of the acceptance of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and identifying potential ways to resolve public concerns. This study investigated how pedestrians and bicyclists perceived AVs based on their knowledge and road sharing experiences, applying a combined inductive and deductive data analysis approach. Survey responses of pedestrians […]
The significance of progress: Increasing the adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems to enhance insurers’ risk models
According to the World Health Organization, ca. 1.4 million lives are lost and 50 million more injured in traffic accidents every year. While improving road safety depends on multiple aspects, such as vehicle technology, road infrastructure and driver education, the insurance industry can also contribute to this effort. It can encourage responsible driving behaviour and […]
Cooperative Automated Transportation (CAT) Coalition Infrastructure-Industry Working Group
The Infrastructure-Industry (I-I) Working Group is one of six working groups in the CAT Coalition. The I-I Working Group supports the adoption of pre-competitive industry research in driving infrastructure development and maintenance, connects Infrastructure Owner Operators (IOOs) with industry, pursues the natural evolution of infrastructure to accelerate connected and automated vehicle (CAV) deployment, and clarifies […]
Safe Drive Initiative The Autonomous Vehicle Governance Ecosystem: A Guide for Decision-Makers
The conventional automotive industry is a mature, highly regulated, consolidated global business environment, which was conventionally accustomed to lengthy processes of product development and engineering developed and refined through the 20th century. However, with the advent of connectivity, electrification, automated driving and shared mobility, these titans of industry have been forced to become agile, fast-moving […]
L2 Driver Monitoring Principles
Level 2 features provide a benefit to the driver by assisting with the driving task and reducing the potential for human error that could result in a crash. However, these systems are not designed to operate independent of the human driver – the driver is ultimately responsible for the driving task. For purposes of this […]
Stantec Generation AV Learning Center
Stantec GenerationAV™ aims to safely accelerate the journey to automated mobility—our goal is to help clients deploy autonomous vehicles (AVs) safely, for the good of their communities. Deploying new technologies, like AV systems, requires a clearly defined program management process. Read more here
Accessible and Barrier Free Research
An accessible and barrier-free vehicle with complementary infrastructure is a commonly cited need across municipal, aging and healthcare ecosystems. The understanding of what a barrier-free, accessible vehicle could be is evolving thanks to universal design, emerging mobility trends and evolving technologies in transportation. So what are the varying and common needs between different customers and […]
