CCAM solutions face a significant challenge characterized by decreased societal demand due to their difficulty in effectively conveying their advantages within existing mobility systems and adapting to the diverse environments where citizens live, work, and conduct their daily activities. Diversify-CCAM has the clear objective to promote fair and accessible mobility in European regions by integrating cultural, geographical and policy aspects into the design, development and implementation of CCAM solutions. This initiative encompasses 6 European countries (Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, Germany, Spain, Sweden), collectively hosting 12 pilot sites dedicated to data collection and evaluation. In each country, there are two distinct areas under examination: one focusing on mobility of people within urban environments equipped with existing CCAM solutions and another focusing on mixed transport (people and small goods) solutions within rural or touristic areas primarily reliant on private cars. Diversify-CCAM will deepen our understanding of the diverse social contexts that influence the acceptance, adoption, and utilization of CCAM. Moreover, the project will study the surmount challenges and barriers hindering the effectiveness of shared services, especially in regions with unique geographical and cultural demands. The methodological approach involves the engagement of various user groups and stakeholders at the local level, extending their involvement to the European and international spheres through PAVE and our distinguished Stakeholder Board. This multifaceted involvement aims to positively influence public perception and reimagine the overall design and offerings of CCAM solutions. Ultimately, the project will develop a CCAM Diversification Tool (CCAM D-Tool) for transportation planners and a CCAM Diversity Observatory for the entire CCAM value chain, both focusing on achieving inclusiveness and equity within the European mobility ecosystem.

SHOW aims to support the migration path towards affective and persuasive sustainable urban transport, through technical solutions, business models and priority scenarios for impact assessment, by deploying shared, connected, cooperative, electrified fleets of autonomous vehicles in coordinated Public Transport (PT), Demand Responsive Transport (DRT), Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and Logistics as a Service (LaaS) operational chains in real-life urban demonstrations in 5 Mega, 6 Satellite and 3 Follower Pilots taking place in 20 cities across Europe. By deploying a fleet of 74 L4/L5 AVs of all types (buses, shuttles, pods, robo-taxis, automated cars connected with MaaS and cargo vehicles) and for all transport operators (passengers, cargo and mixed transport) in both dedicated lanes and mixed traffic, connected to a wide range of supporting infrastructure (5G, G5, IoT, etc.) and operating under traffic speeds ranging from 18 to over 50km/h, it aims to satisfy 7 UCs families and 22 single UCs; that together cover all urban automated mobility needs and wants of the stakeholders (i.e. as reported within SPACE initiative and in ERTRAC roadmap). Project pilots will last for 24 months, with real service seamless operation in each pilot site lasting at least 12 months and will transport with AV fleets over 1,500,000 passengers and 350,000 units of goods. Being the bigger and more holistic ever real life CCAV urban demonstration initiative, it is user led (by UITP) and realised by a Consortium of 69 Partners, 6 third parties and with the additional support of 60 stakeholders (connected through LoS, including major stakeholder Associations) and twinning actions with 11 organisations the US, S. Korea, Australia, China, Taiwan and Singapore.
