Launch of the Integrated CCAM Technologies Cluster

The rapidly evolving landscape of Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) is driving the need for deeper collaboration among European projects working towards the future of safe, intelligent, and sustainable transport systems.

Six EU-funded projects¹ dedicated to advancing CCAM technologies have formed together the “Integrated CCAM Technologies Cluster” to foster synergies, knowledge exchange, and cross-project collaboration. The Integrated CCAM Technologies Cluster (iCCAMTech Cluster) aims to accelerate innovation, enhance interoperability, and maximize the impact of research. By combining expertise across artificial intelligence, digital twins, advanced sensing, cybersecurity, and infrastructure-enabled automation, the Cluster will drive a harmonized and integrated approach to the development and deployment of CCAM solutions.

The iCCAMTech Cluster is committed to enhancing cooperation between research initiatives, policymakers, industry leaders, and other stakeholders. Through joint activities, shared expertise, and coordinated dissemination, the Cluster aims to:

• Drive interoperability between different CCAM solutions, ensuring seamless integration into future mobility systems.
• Strengthen CCAM safety and resilience, enabling autonomous vehicles to operate reliably in complex real-world conditions.
• Accelerate technology adoption by bridging the gap between research, industry, and policy frameworks.
• Create standardized methodologies for AI-based decision-making, infrastructure enhancements, and digital twin integration.
