Accessing and Sharing CCAM Data
24th October 2025 at 1:26 pm
Horizon Europe’s call HORIZON-CL5-2026-01-D6-06 invites consortia to develop a federated data exchange platform that enables secure, efficient and interoperable sharing of mobility and research data for the Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) Partnership and its Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda. The platform will support both large-scale demonstrations and operational deployment, while catering to the diverse needs of industry, researchers and public authorities. With the submission deadline on 20 January 2026, applicants should focus on creating a robust infrastructure that integrates multiple data sources, enhances accessibility and supports safe and scalable CCAM systems.
Key expectations for proposals
The European Commission expects proposals to deliver:
- A federated, sustainable CCAM data platform that connects existing data spaces and enables access to mobility and research datasets for development, testing, AI model training, scenario-based validation and KPI monitoring.
- Interoperability and standardisation, including harmonised taxonomies, interfaces and data formats, aligned with the common European mobility data space and relevant EU initiatives.
- Governance and sustainability: a clear governance structure and viable business model to ensure long-term platform durability and accessibility.
- Data for impact assessment: identification of reference datasets and information needs for KPIs, including socio-economic, traffic, vehicle and infrastructure statistics.
Pro tip: Emphasise how your platform will make data accessible, usable and secure. Highlight interoperability standards, alignment with FAIR principles and how it supports large-scale CCAM demonstrations.
Enabling data-driven CCAM innovation
CCAM systems rely on vast amounts of real-time data, from sensor outputs to traffic and mobility information. Current data-sharing approaches are fragmented, making it difficult to develop robust, interoperable solutions. Proposals should focus on:
- Developing connectors, APIs and protocols to integrate and harmonise existing datasets.
- Creating a centralised, yet federated infrastructure that allows safe sharing while respecting privacy and GDPR.
- Supporting digital twins, scenario simulations and AI model development to accelerate safe CCAM deployment.
Pro tip: Showcase practical use cases where your platform enhances system testing, validation, or AI training. Demonstrating real-world applicability strengthens your proposal.
Strategic alignment with the CCAM partnership
A federated data platform is critical for scaling CCAM technologies, enabling collaboration across EU projects and supporting consistent regulatory compliance. Proposals should align with:
- EU-CEM methodology for CCAM reporting.
- Complementary projects like FAME, SUNRISE, SYNERGIES and DeployEMDS.
- International cooperation to ensure global interoperability.
Pro tip: Position your project as a data backbone for CCAM innovation. Demonstrate how the platform facilitates collaboration, accelerates deployment and supports regulatory monitoring and performance benchmarking.
