CCAM

CCAM stands for cooperative, connected, and automated mobility. In this context, vehicles, road users, and infrastructure work together ever more closely by exchanging information and supporting or automatically carrying out certain driving and traffic tasks.The research also examines how people react to, cope with, accept, and rely on these new mobility technologies.

A key component of this is C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems): these are intelligent transport systems that enable vehicles, infrastructure, and other road users to communicate safely and directly with one another. This is achieved, amongst other things, via V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything), the collective term for communication between a vehicle and other vehicles, the road infrastructure, road users, and digital networks.

CCAM applications aim to make traffic safer, smoother, and more sustainable. By enabling vehicles and infrastructure to better anticipate traffic situations, accidents and traffic jams can be prevented, traffic flows can be managed more efficiently, and the available infrastructure can be utilised more effectively.
