Call for proposals on CCAM currently open: Take the opportunity to submit your idea!!
 


ESA’s Navigation Innovation and Support Programme (NAVISP) in cooperation with ERTICO-ITS Europe, has launched a Thematic Window soliciting proposals from European industry, institutions, and research organizations to advance the use of Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) information in the domain of Connected Cooperative Autonomous Mobility (CCAM).

On January 26 and 27, NAVISP will offer the opportunity to book 30-minute time slots to discuss your ideas, answer questions, and help you develop your project design and Outline proposal.

Please book your personal appointment here.


On the Thematic Window:

 Vehicle automation has gained considerable momentum in recent years. The use of complementary technologies is already evident   in daily life, with a clear trend toward adopting (semi-) autonomous solutions. Most of these solutions operate in a distributed and   decentralized manner, so they require communication and connectivity between the elements in the system. As a result, demand is   growing for vehicles that cooperate and coordinate with each other and with infrastructure to perform more complex mobility tasks,   providing a safer and more comfortable driving experience and enabling more sustainable forms of transportation. 

 The provision of ubiquitous positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) information as well as the full situation awareness of vehicles   in the system belong to the main challenges, that need to be countered in the future. Possible PNT solutions for CCAM are as   diverse as their application areas and offer technological opportunities not only for passenger cars but also for buses, trucks, and   entire infrastructures. This allows for more customized applications such as advanced traffic and parking management, new driving   assistance systems, next-generation on-board units or traffic pricing systems. Thus, the integration of complementary and   alternative PNT technologies in CCAM systems from tomorrow can reduce congestion, increase efficiency, minimize energy consumption, reduce emissions, avoid accidents, and thus provide more sustainable modes of transportation overall.
