Cluster Overview

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. In response to this growing need, we are pleased to announce the launch of the Integrated CCAM Technologies Cluster, a strategic alliance bringing together six cutting-edge EU-funded projects dedicated to advancing CCAM technologies.

The “Integrated CCAM Technologies Cluster” aims to foster synergies, knowledge exchange, and cross-project collaboration to accelerate innovation, enhance interoperability, and maximize the impact of research efforts in automated and connected mobility. 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.

Our cluster

The “Integrated CCAM Technologies Cluster” is composed of six pioneering projects, each contributing unique expertise to the development of next-generation CCAM solutions:

AI-based CCAM: Trustworthy, Explainable, and Accountable

AITHENA is leading the way in defining a harmonized methodology for AI-based CCAM solutions across perception, situational awareness, decision-making, and traffic management. By focusing on trustworthy AI pillars such as accuracy, explainability, accountability, privacy, and ethics, AITHENA ensures that AI-driven mobility solutions can be reliable and widely accepted by users, developers, and certification bodies.
