Last week, the 8th edition of RTR2025 took place, bringing together key stakeholders to explore the latest EU-funded research in road transport. Covering topics from green vehicles and urban mobility to automation, safety, and intelligent transport systems, the conference highlighted groundbreaking results from H2020 and Horizon Europe projects. Co-organised by the CCAM Association, under which the IN2CCAM project is funded, RTR2025 provided a platform to discuss innovation towards a smarter, greener, and safer transport future.
Kicking off the second day of the event, IN2CCAM was presented during the session ‘Integration and Large-Scale Demonstration of CCAM Solutions’, which also featured the CONDUCTOR, MODI, ULTIO, and MOVE2CCAM projects. The discussion revolved around how these initiatives align with the CCAM Partnership’s agenda and their progress towards deployment readiness, fitting into a broader vision by ensuring the scalability and applicability of its results across the road transport ecosystems.
The IN2CCAM presentation was delivered by project coordinator Maria Pia Fanti from Politecnico di Bari. She outlined the project’s strategic objectives, which focus on implementing and demonstrating CCAM services for connected and automated vehicles, infrastructure, and users. IN2CCAM has worked extensively on building intermodal interfaces and enhancing interoperability between traffic management systems across its Lead Living Labs. Additionally, the project has designed advanced simulation models and tools to assess new traffic strategies and develop cutting-edge mobility network load-balancing solutions.
A key aspect of IN2CCAM’s approach is integrating physical, digital, and operational infrastructure to optimise CCAM services. Maria Pia Fanti provided an update on the four Lead Living Labs located in Tampere, Trikala, Turin, and Vigo. These labs are actively implementing new CCAM services, utilising an extended server platform, and adopting a Digital Twin approach for maintenance and predictive analysis. By collecting real-world data and evaluating public perception, these Living Labs provide valuable insights to shape governance models and regulatory frameworks. Meanwhile, the two Follower Living Labs in Quadrilatero and Bari leverage these findings through simulations and emulations, enabling cost-effective validation and refinement of proposed services.
With live demonstrations already taking place, IN2CCAM is paving the way for real-world CCAM deployment. The project is set to conclude in October 2025, by which time partners will have gathered and analysed all necessary data to assess the project’s overall impact. The final outcomes will serve as a foundation for future CCAM deployments, ensuring alignment with the EU’s transport agenda and the CCAM Partnership’s mission. By fostering a more connected, automated, and collaborative mobility ecosystem, IN2CCAM aims to contribute to safer, more sustainable, and efficient transport solutions for people and goods.
