  Nadège Faul

  Director - Large scale Experimentation projects
  VEDECOM
  France

  Nadège FAUL, 56, is Director for the large-scale demonstration projects of connected and automated mobility in the VEDECOM Institute. Among other projects, she manages the operational coordination of SAM (Sécurité et Acceptabilité de la conduite et de la Mobilité autonome). SAM is a major French project, gathering 20 industrial and academic partners, aiming at demonstrating the safety, acceptability and the socio-economic impacts of automated mobility. Covering 19 experimental sites in 13 different locations, SAM is funded by the French programme EVRA, and is supporting the development of the National strategic roadmap for road automation. Beyond technical validations and user’s acceptance exploration, the project is also addressing major challenges, such as the integration in the urban environment, the impacts on local governance, or developing the common methodologies and approaches for stakeholders from various sectors (automotive, transport operators, urban logistic…). Nadège has been involved in various other projects, all exploring the diversity of challenges linked to automated mobility, both on national (EVAPS), or European level (ARCADE, SHOW, CoExist). She is graduated from Neoma Business School (Rouen, France), and has completed a 24 years career as a senior executive in the automotive industry (PSA Group), in activities linked to international development, dealer network management, customer satisfaction, or the management of innovation projects.
