Presentation Description

The presentation will introduce the CCAM-readiness Self-Assessment Tool which has been designed to guide the assessment of a city's/region's current stand in relation to CCAM deployment and to identify what the next steps could be to become 'automation-ready'. The tool is structured along the conceptual approach of the 'automation-ready framework', which was developed in the frame of the EU funded CoExist project. The framework proposes three phases of strategic action CCAM in urban mobility planning processes: Automation awareness raising, Planning for Automation-readiness, Preparing for the implementation of automation-ready measures. Further developments of the tool are planned to link knowledge resources of CCAM best practice to the assessment results and benchmark within clusters of cities for steering knowledge exchange among cities/regions. The EU funded FAME project will work on the integration of the tool in the existing online Knowledge Base on Connected and Automated Driving (CAD) (entry point for city/regional authorities; ) to link existing knowledge resources to weaknesses identified in self-assessment.
