ARCADE
01/10/2018
ARCADE is a Coordination and Support Action that coordinates consensus-building across stakeholders for sound and harmonised deployment of Connected, Cooperative and Automated Driving (CAD).
This project supports the commitment of the European Commission, the European Member States and the industry to develop a common approach to development, testing, validation and deployment of CAD in Europe and beyond.
The ARCADE project will run for three years and aims to establish a joint stakeholders forum in order to coordinate and harmonise automated road transport approaches at European (e.g. strategic alignment of national action plans for automated driving) and international level (in particular with the US and Japan). Towards this objective, ARCADE will organise the Second European CAD conference in 2019 and is open to associated partners beyond the confinements of the consortium.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
- Cooperation between all CAD stakeholders (e.g. industry, research, member states, European Commission and international partners) from the different sectors (e.g. automotive, infrastructure, ICT and service provisions)
- Coordination of cooperation efforts between all programmes, initiatives and projects, including national and European research programmes as well international cooperation activities
- Exchange of knowledge, lessons and experiences from past and ongoing activities at national, European and international level
- Consensus building on CAD deployment scenarios and research needs for connected and automated driving
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement number 824251.
