More CCAM projects results in the spotlight

Last modified on 3 February, 2026

Project in the spotlight is an initiative of the CCAM Association to present the results of CCAM projects funded under Horizon Europe Work Programmes.

After a first and second series of articles, more project profiles were published at the end of last year. If you missed them, here is a recap:

• EVENTS brings together into a unified architecture for automated driving, advanced sensing technologies, predictive intelligence, decision-making tools, trajectory planning strategies and fail-safe control mechanisms. A defining aspect of the project is its emphasis on self-assessment, enabling the perception system to evaluate the confidence in its own outputs and monitor their performance. Read more here.
• AI4CCAM has delivered a suite of innovative AI models addressing how automated vehicles perceive and interpret their surroundings, including interactions with other road users, but also how VRUs react to approaching automated vehicles. The project has incorporated ethics, safety, and user acceptance into every aspect of AI development, while working to mitigate bias, ensure cybersecurity, and build public trust. Read more here.
• AITHENA has developed a human-centric, ethical evaluation framework tailored to CCAM including trustworthiness assurance assessment ensuring that high-risk AI systems meet the EU AI Act safety and ethical standards; Advanced AI perception algorithms for multi-sensor fusion and operation in adverse weather conditions; Generative AI-based privacy masking enabling the real-time anonymisation of sensitive video data.

• IN2CCAM has implemented enhanced Physical, Digital and Operational Infrastructures (PDOIs) and new CCAM services and applications to increase safety and traffic efficiency. The developed solutions and services tested across six Living Labs have provided valuable insights for large-scale deployment, in relation with user acceptance, business readiness, and policy alignment.

• CONDUCTOR has developed an orchestration framework that connects traffic management and fleet operations with user needs, and includes a new generation of tools for dynamically balancing traffic demand and applying priority-based management to both automated and conventional vehicles.

• AWARE2ALL “Integral Safety” framework connects safety measures for vehicle occupants and other road users, particularly underrepresented and vulnerable groups, including women, the elderly, people with sensory or physical impairments, and those with limited digital literacy. This includes next-generation passive and active safety systems to address unconventional seating positions (e.g., facing backward or sideways) in Highly Automated Vehicles, in-cabin monitoring and Human-Machine Interfaces (iHMI) to keep occupants informed about the vehicle’s status and the surrounding traffic situation, in case they need to take over control.
