1. Brief information about the research within the TRACE project

TRACE is a project funded by the Horizon Europe Programme, the European Union (EU) Framework Programme for Research and Innovation for the period 2021-2027 (Grant Agreement n. 101104278). The project aims to offer a universal platform with functionalities related to planning, scheduling, optimisation and events management in the logistics operations. TRACE will perform studies related to the barriers towards the new logistics era, new business opportunities, requirements for the legislation and regulatory frameworks and expose the benefits of the proposed approach in terms of the reduction for energy demand and emissions while limiting the operational costs for logistics stakeholders.

2. The Survey

As output, the present survey intends to provide information on citizens’ perception, awareness and acceptance of autonomous systems in the logistics operations. This data will allow the TRACE team to further develop its analysis on the level of perception, awareness, acceptance of autonomous systems and technologies and their perceived impact and effectiveness. This allows TRACE to integrate these inputs and concerns in its activities, design, and products.
Your answers will be anonymous and will not be used for any purpose other than that needed for this analysis.
You are invited to voluntary participate in TRACE Mobility and Logistics: Survey on citizens' perceptions and awareness on automated mobility. Your responses to this survey will help us to gather information on the level of perception towards unmanned transportation systems, their impact and privacy implications.
You will be asked to provide answers to the survey questionnaire that consists of 4 sections:
  1. General perception related to unmanned transportation systems.
  2. Perceived impact.
  3. Unmanned transportation future expectations.
  4. Demographics.
If you think that some parts of the survey do not concern you, please click on the “I don’t know” or “N/A (Not Applicable)” choice. This option applies not only for the case of being Not Applicable, but also in the case that you are not able to answer because you don't understand all or part of the question.
The answers provided in the survey will be analysed in an aggregate form and will be Published/presented in a public report (i.e., TRACE deliverable 2.3 outlining the results of this research activity).

We thank you in advance for your contribution to TRACE research activities.
