One of the challenges that has been identified in recent conferences and publications is the need to ensure that Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) will improve safety for bicycle and e-scooter riders, rather than create further challenges.

What is the aim of the workshop? : A workshop will be held as part of the International Cycling Safety Conference 2024 to present new research in this area and discuss future directions.  
Who can participate?: The workshop will be hosted by the International Research Centre to Study the Effects of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles on Vulnerable Road-Users (ICAROS), which is a collaboration of researchers from Loughborough University (UK), Tongji University (China) and Queensland University of Technology (Australia). You can participate by submitting an abstract to present your related research on this topic or by simply registering to attend the workshop and contributing to the discussion.
What are the session methods?: The workshop will have 3 components: a brief presentation of the ICAROS findings, presentations by other researchers on related topics, and facilitated discussions among participants regarding future directions in this area. The workshop will allow a maximum of 50 participants.
How can I participate?: Participants are required to prepare an unstructured abstract of up to 500 words that presents the results of recent research relevant to interactions between CAVs and two-wheelers, or discusses methodological or ethical challenges in research or implementation. Please submit your abstracts by 7 October 2024.   
What are the expected outcomes?: This workshop aims to provide participants with an overview of research findings and challenges in the area of CAV-two-wheeler interactions that will help them to identify gaps in our knowledge future research directions.
