Augmented CCAM Workshop: Enhancing Infrastructure Readiness for Large-Scale Autonomous Deployment

Join us for an engaging workshop focused on the latest developments and validation of the AUGMENTED CCAM project, specifically highlighting the progress made at the Riga (Latvia) pilot site. This session aims to provide an in-depth look into the technological and infrastructural advancements currently developed within the project, offering a platform for stakeholders to validate the findings and contribute to the project’s ongoing success.

AUGMENTED CCAM is dedicated to understanding, harmonizing, and evaluating Physical, Digital, and Communication (PDI) infrastructure support solutions to prepare for large-scale deployment of Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) solutions across Europe. The project involves multiple pilot sites and test beds in France, Latvia, and Spain, leveraging AI, Big Data, and crowdsourced HD maps to enhance transport system awareness and efficiency.

The workshop will begin with a comprehensive introduction to the AUGMENTED CCAM project, outlining its objectives and the significance of its work in advancing CCAM infrastructure. Participants will gain insights into how these solutions are being prepared for large-scale deployment across Europe.

The core of the workshop will feature a detailed presentation from representatives of the Riga (Latvia) pilot site. They will share the innovative methodologies and technologies implemented, showcasing key findings and preliminary results from their diverse testing environments. Following the presentation, participants will engage in an interactive validation session. Divided into small breakout groups, attendees will discuss and critically assess the results from the Riga site and the project in general. Each group will focus on various aspects such as functional safety, traffic efficiency, environmental impact, and user trust. The insights gathered during these discussions will be invaluable in refining the project’s approach and ensuring its relevance to real-world applications.

After the breakout sessions, groups will reconvene to present their findings, fostering a collaborative environment where diverse perspectives can contribute to the validation process. This consolidation of feedback will be crucial for shaping the project’s future steps and policy recommendations.

The workshop will conclude with a discussion on the next steps for the AUGMENTED CCAM project, integrating the validated insights and feedback received. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of the project’s impact and the collaborative efforts required to advance CCAM solutions across Europe. Additionally, the workshop will explore potential international collaborations, identifying synergies with activities outside Europe to further enhance the global readiness for autonomous vehicle infrastructure.
