Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM)

Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM)

Partnership website: https://www.ccam.eu/

The CCAM co-programmed partnership aims to accelerate the implementation of innovative, connected, cooperative and automated mobility (CCAM) technologies and services in Europe.

The partnership aims to accelerate the implementation of innovative, connected, cooperative and automated mobility (CCAM) through the following three goals:

  • The goal of CCAM is to create a more user-centered and inclusive mobility system, increasing road safety while reducing congestion and environmental footprint.
  • More collaborative research, testing and demonstration projects in order to accelerate the innovation pace and implementation of automated mobility.
  • Working together at European level to help remove barriers and contribute to the acceptance and efficient rollout of automation technologies and services.

By 2030, the partnership aims to have demonstrated inclusive, user-oriented and well-integrated mobility concepts with increased safety and a reduced carbon footprint. Its goal is to make Europe a world leader in the deployment of CCAM.

The CCAM Partnership's activities are structured around 7 clusters, organising the R&I actions by aligning deployment readiness with road users and operators, policy-makers, and industry:

  1. Large-scale demonstration
  2. Vehicle technologies
  3. Validation
  4. Integrating CCAM in the transport system
  5. Key Enabling Technologies
  6. Societal Aspects and People Needs
  7. Coordination

As a co-programmed partnership, the CCAM call topics are fully integrated in the regular Horizon Europe cluster 5 work programme. These topics contribute to achieving the objectives of this co-programmed partnership.

What are partnerships?

Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.

How to use partnerships?

  • orientation
    Partnerships publish strategic documents, e.g. outlining the main research and innovation challenges or key focus points.
  • networking
    Partnerships often organise events, such as info days, brokerage events, etc. Meet potential partners and learn about the nuances that are not visible in the official documents.
  • ecosystem analysis
    Partnerships typically have an advisory board, and publish impact studies of previous actions. These are good sources of information to uncover the main R&D&I players in the domain.
  • steering the agenda
    Partnerships collaborate with the EC on outlining the strategy and the future funding opportunities in their domain, based on input from industry, academia, and other stakeholders.

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022,  aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.

The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
