CCAM Portfolio expands with three new projects from the 2025 Work Programme
Three new projects funded under the Horizon Europe Work Programme 2025 have officially kicked off, strengthening Europe’s efforts to advance Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM). The projects – RemoteReadyMove, AcceptRemote, and Pre-LSDemo – address key technological, societal, and operational challenges paving the way towards large-scale deployment of CCAM solutions across Europe.
Advancing Remote Operations with Societal Readiness at the Core
Two of the newly launched projects, RemoteReadyMove and AcceptRemote, are funded under the topic “Advancing remote operations to enable sustainable and smart mobility of people and goods based on operational and societal needs”. Both initiatives place strong emphasis on integrating societal aspects into technological development, reflecting the growing importance of user acceptance, trust, and inclusiveness in CCAM deployment.
RemoteReadyMove focuses on advancing Remote Operation (RO) as a key enabler for connected and automated mobility systems. By allowing human operators to remotely monitor, assist, or intervene in automated driving scenarios, the project aims to extend operational capabilities and increase system reliability. Through six pilot sites across Europe, including Sweden, Germany, France, Spain, and Greece, the project will test real-world applications for both passenger and freight transport. Using a structured Societal Readiness methodology, RemoteReadyMove will deliver policy recommendations, safety frameworks, and updated CCAM roadmaps to support large-scale implementation.
Complementing this approach, AcceptRemote puts Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) at the centre of innovation. The project develops a comprehensive societal readiness framework and introduces methodologies that incorporate inclusiveness, gender sensitivity, cultural context, and trust-building into remote operation systems. Through three demonstration pilots, covering passenger mobility, logistics, and mixed transport, AcceptRemote will validate advanced solutions such as AI-driven communication systems, multi-agent fleet coordination, and scenario-based simulations. By linking societal insights with technical development, the project aims to ensure that future CCAM services are widely accepted, economically viable, and responsive to diverse societal needs.
Preparing for Large-Scale Demonstrations
The third project, Pre-LSDemo, is funded under the topic “Preparing for large-scale CCAM demonstrations” and plays a strategic role. As a Coordination and Support Action (CSA), PRE-LSDEMO will pave the way for future large-scale demonstrations by aligning stakeholders, methodologies, and operational frameworks across Europe. The project will support the preparation of large-scale pilots, addressing challenges related to integration, scalability, and cross-border deployment of CCAM solutions.
