The CCAM Partnership, co-programmed with the European Commission in the Horizon Europe framework, aims at advancing Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM). It focuses on improving road safety, reducing environmental impact, and promoting inclusive mobility solutions by bringing together various stakeholders to collaborate on research and development projects.

At the forefront of this movement is the BERTHA Project, which focuses on developing a scalable Driver Behavioural Model (DBM) using Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN). This model accurately replicates human driving behaviour, which is essential for the safe interaction between autonomous and human-driven vehicles. By implementing this model on an open-source hub and integrating it into the CARLA simulation platform, the BERTHA Project is setting new standards in driving models.

Synergies and innovation: the future of safe and sustainable transportation

The collaboration between the BERTHA project and the CCAM Partnership aims to drive significant advancements in autonomous driving technology. The BERTHA Project leverages the CCAM Partnership’s extensive network, facilitating knowledge sharing and best practices. In return, the CCAM Partnership benefits from cutting-edge research and innovations, enhancing its mission to create a cohesive and advanced mobility ecosystem.

Together, the BERTHA project and the CCAM Partnership are not only advancing autonomous driving but also setting new benchmarks for safety, efficiency, and sustainability in transportation. This strategic cooperation exemplifies how collaboration can accelerate technological progress, bringing us closer to a future where autonomous vehicles are an integral part of our daily lives.
