The European Commission has initiated an expert group on Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) with the following task:
To provide advice and support to the Commission in the field of testing and pre-deployment activities for CCAM – and the main motivation: the need to reap synergies among its participants and their efficient co-operation towards ensuring that the promotion of CCAM is carried out in a non-fragmented manner. In this context the advice of this Platform shall also feed the research programmes in the field of CCAM, most notably the preparatory work on the European partnership to be created under the coming European multiannual financial framework.
In this work, Ingrid Skogsmo has been assigned to represent ECTRI, and Magnus Granström and Mats Rosenqvist represent EARPA (Mats also represent Volvo Group). A workshop will be held in Brussel Sept 9th.
