IN2CCAM concludes with roadmap for Europe-wide CCAM deployment

The IN2CCAM project has officially concluded, marked by its Final Event in Brussels on 22 October 2025. Researchers, public authorities and industry representatives gathered to reflect on the progress made and discuss next steps for large-scale deployment of Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) services. Funded through Horizon Europe, the project explored how CCAM can help cities address urgent mobility challenges and support safer, smarter and more inclusive urban environments. 

Over three years, the project demonstrated the potential of CCAM solutions when integrated into traffic management systems, both physically and digitally. By connecting vehicles and infrastructure, cities can leverage real-time data from connected vehicles, design interoperable systems and enable the exchange of crucial information that supports safer and more responsive mobility services without investing in new infrastructure.

Through six Living Labs (LLs) in Tampere (FI), Trikala (EL), Turin (IT), Vigo (ES), Bari (IT) and Quadrilatero region (PT), the project tested autonomous vehicles and shuttles, digital twins, smart traffic lights or cooperative ITS services, demonstrating their potential to improve travel efficiency and safety. In addition, IN2CCAM provided guidance on governance and regulatory frameworks, highlighting the need for clear legal definitions of these services to establish roles and responsibilities, as well as data governance which should balance privacy and security. By developing a common framework, the project has paved the way for scalable, interoperable, and sustainable CCAM service models that can be implemented across Europe.

The project leaves behind a strengthened European CCAM ecosystem: a flexible marketplace where services can be adapted to different contexts and where regulatory and technical alignment supports seamless cross-border deployment. Although the project has now ended, its legacy continues. Key insights and outcomes have been consolidated into a concise Final Brochure and a Library, capturing the key takeaways and the knowledge gained through the Living Labs.
