Call

Physical and Digital Infrastructure (PDI), connectivity and cooperation enabling and supporting CCAM (CCAM Partnership)

Summary

Actions are expected to address the activities either under area:

A) Physical and Digital Infrastructure (PDI) supporting CCAM or under area.

B) Connectivity and cooperation as enablers for CCAM and advanced traffic management while taking into account the complementing nature of both areas.

Detailed Call Description

Area A: Physical and Digital Infrastructure (PDI) supporting CCAM

Proposed actions should build upon recent work of the CCAM Platform on classifying PDI elements and develop a comprehensive classification scheme that also allows for describing the PDI support on road network sections.

R&I actions should advance the technological readiness of PDI support to level 6/7 on the way towards (pre-) deployment as an important contribution to large-scale demonstration actions.

Proposals should take into account that EU-wide/global harmonisation is key in this R&I action, enabling broad uptake of services in the common single market and paving the way towards coordinated deployment of necessary infrastructure support for CCAM.

Area B: Connectivity and cooperation as enablers for CCAM and advanced traffic Management

Proposed actions should address the following aspects in real traffic conditions:

Data provision through communication channels from external sources, increasing the functionality of CCAM services and traffic management as well as road safety, traffic efficiency and environmental protection. Also, ensuring interoperability and continuity of services, backwards compatibility of proposed solutions, supporting a mixed use or range of technologies while ensuring privacy and security for all, in all communication channels.

Furthermore, proposals should include in research and testing all relevant actors across sectors to co-design CCAM services. Additionally, they should also embrace the necessity to come up with concepts for a sustainable organisation of the necessary co-investment, co-management and joint implementation of CCAM.
