The connected and automated vehicle (CAV) has experienced rapid capability growth with a related high tempo of innovation. Road and mass public transport authorities have struggled to keep up with this rapid rate of innovation. Every day we see in the news that a vehicle or sub‐system supplier has introduced a new innovative solution to a problem, and that transport authorities have introduced interim (and sometimes ad‐hoc) policy and regulation to govern the test and evaluation or full implementation of CAVs on the road network. This paper proposes use of an established systems engineering method, the operational concept (OpsCon) as a means to facilitate systematic identification and analysis of “a day in the life” user story for a CAV from a transport authority perspective, and how this method can best be used to review and develop well‐structured public and private transport policy and associated new or altered road regulations to enable the safe and efficient introduction of CAVs on roads.
