The EU funded VRA project is a collaboration network of experts and stakeholders working on deployment of automated vehicles and its related infrastructure. The project acts as the interface between EC funded projects, international relations and national activities on vehicle and road automation.  It aims to maintain an active European network of experts and stakeholders, to contribute to the EU-US-Japan international collaboration on vehicle and road automation, to identify deployment needs for the different domains of vehicle and road automation and to promote European research on vehicle and road automation.
