The aim of the LEVITATE project is to develop a new impact assessment framework to enable policymakers to manage the introduction of connected and automated transport systems, maximise the benefits and utilise the technologies to achieve long-term visions and goals. An essential part of this work seeks to forecast societal level impacts of connected and automated transport systems (CATS). These include impacts on safety, environment, economy and society.

The transport and logistics infrastructure of the Kaliningrad region, together with the favorable geographical location of the region, special business conditions, customs privileges and tax preferences for residents of the Special Economic Zone, creates possibilities for the uninterrupted movement of goods and the dynamic development of international trade relations.
