Advancing CCAM through human-centred design
We are actively engaged in the development of Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM), enabled by Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS).
Our work focuses on designing and validating these solutions through participatory approaches that integrate co-design, co-development and co-assessment activities. This allows us to address not only technological performance, but also the societal readiness required for effective adoption in real-world contexts.
This approach has been applied, for example, in the CONDUCTOR project, where we contributed to the study and coordination of CCAM fleets operating across both urban and interurban environments, ensuring alignment between system capabilities, user needs and operational conditions.
Participation, inclusiveness and behaviour change
To design and implement the mobility of the future in a sustainable and efficient way, all stakeholders must be involved:
- public institutions, to guide the appropriate policy and regulatory processes;
- citizens and organizations, to consider different points of view and expected benefits, and to identify the most suitable tools to trigger positive behaviour change;
- the industry, for its centrality among the productive sectors.
This is why we work in stakeholders’ engagement and bottom-up consulting activities with all mobility stakeholders. We are leaders of communication and dissemination activities of important research projects at the European level. In INDIMO, for example, we work to ensure that the new digital mobility is inclusive and a source of new opportunities for equality, also for passengers with cognitive disabilities or reduced mobility, to offer all members of society the same benefits and services.
