Safety is a paramount concern when considering implementation of an automated highway where computers control the vehicles. Even with computer-fast reaction time there is inevitably some delay and if vehicles do not follow at safe distances, emergency braking maneuvers can cause dangerous collisions. This research investigates situations that might make automated vehicles have dangerous collisions and what standards the system design must hold to keep passengers safe.

The subject of future transportation has been examined extensively in socio-technical literature. There is a consensus that advancements in the field of automated mobility will have a significant impact on how people move between locations. In this degree project, the authors have chosen to investigate modes of transport that have not yet been established in society. Although, interesting advancements create possible scenarios of future transportation and its impact on tourism. The authors use a content analysis through a quantitative research method in the form of a questionnaire to get the public’s view on the subject. Subsequently, systematic reading of journals and webpages was conducted to identify linkage to previous research and relevant content. Hence, the scenarios were developed by analyzing a combination of secondary and primary data. The authors suggest that the content on future transportation represents changes to come that will have great impacts on both tourism and the transportation industry.

Denna rapport närmar sig cyberfysiska system (CPS) ur både användnings- och utvecklingsperspektiv, med särskilt fokus på utmaningarna i en sjukhusmiljö. Vikten av en kontinuerlig utveckling för att optimera teknologins prestanda och användbarhet betonas, och de specifika utmaningar som är unika för en sjukhusmiljö belyses. Studien undersöker hantering av komplexitet kopplat till CPS i form av automatiserade transportsystem på Nya Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Stockholm, Sverige. Målet är att ge framtida sjukhusprojekt en klar beskrivning av erfarenheterna av att utveckla och hantera CPS i sjukhusmiljö. Genom att titta på både möjligheter och utmaningar kommer rapporten att bidra till en ökad förståelse för CPS och dess förmåga att förbättra vården. Resultaten visar att utmaningarna inkluderar höga säkerhetskrav, integrering med personal, noga övervakning för att undvika driftstörningar och behovet av samarbete och flexibilitet. Rapporten drar slutsatsen att samarbete, proaktiv inställning och kontinuerlig utveckling är nödvändiga för att optimera prestanda och användbarhet hos CPS. Användare och kunder bör också vara aktiva i att dokumentera och rapportera systemets beteende för en kontinuerlig förbättring. Utvecklingen av CPS inom sjukhusmiljöer kräver också kontinuerlig testning och utbildning av personal samt ett koordinerat och strategiskt förhållningssätt för att säkerställa god samverkan mellan systemets olika aspekter. / This report approaches CPS technology from both usage and development perspectives, with a particular focus on the challenges in a hospital environment. The importance of continuous development to optimize the technology's performance and usability is explored, as well as the specific challenges that are unique to a hospital environment. The study investigates the complexity management of CPS in the form of automated transport systems at the New Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden. The goal is to provide future hospital projects with a clear description of the experiences of developing and managing CPS in a hospital environment. By looking at both opportunities and challenges, the report contributes to a greater understanding of CPS and its ability to improve health care. The study shows that the challenges include high security requirements, integration with staff, careful monitoring to avoid disruptions, and the need for cooperation and flexibility. The report concludes that cooperation, proactive attitude and continuous development are necessary to optimize the performance and usability of CPS. Users and customers should be active in documenting and reporting the system's behavior for continuous improvement. The development of CPS in hospital environments also requires continuous testing and training of staff and a coordinated and strategic approach to ensure cooperation between the system's different aspects.
