2 The Norwegian Public Roads Administration - responsibilities The NPRA has a broader mandate than most national road administrations. We are responsible for: the management, planning, building, operation and maintenance of national and county roads inspections of vehicles and road users As a result, we are in a good position to facilitate the interplay between infrastructure, vehicles, and road users and to take a role in the interplay between government, industry and academia.

7 NPRA s ambitions Norway has ambitions to be an international leader in adoption of new technology in the transport sector - including automated transport Norway wants to actively test new technology Examples: Nordic Way 2 E8 Borealis. Test corridor for C- ITS and automated transport

8 Starting point: the national and international initiatives in context In the NTP action program for there is 450 Million NOK set aside for the C-ITS pilots NPRA is coordinating on Nordic Way 2 with partners from Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway The Norwegian government has a program for piloting within the Transport sector, Pilot-T It is important both to drive pilots and to provide a basis for understanding NPRA s regulatory role

11 E8 Borealis Length 40 km 22 km with speed limit of 90 km/h Traffic volume: 700 AADT, 27% heavy good vehicles Important route for fish transportation Road has a yellow center line, but is often narrow The combination of a narrow road, sharp curves and steep gradients causes problems for heavy goods vehicles Snow drifting is a problem closer to the Finish border Accidents involving reindeers Skibotn National border
