The EC-funded Research & Innovation Action FAME (Framework for coordination of Automated Mobility in Europe) supports the commitment of the European Commission and the CCAM Partnership to provide a long-term coordination framework for R&I and large-scale testing and evaluation activities in Europe. The mission of FAME is to engage an active community of stakeholders across the complex cross-sectorial value chain of CCAM, and capitalize on shared knowledge, to improve cooperation, consensus building and data sharing for CCAM testing and large-scale demonstration activities in Europe.
FAME will establish a stakeholder-validated European framework for testing on public roads. This framework will include a Common Evaluation Methodology, a CCAM test data space (TDS), a Taxonomy tool, an ethics framework, and an inventory of current legislation, approval processes and procedures. It is intended to enable comparability, complementarity and upscaling of R&I results for future research, development and testing of CCAM-enabled solutions and services, and facilitate the evaluation of their wider impacts.
FAME approach is based on the integration and further development of existing elements such as stakeholder networks and the CAD Knowledge Base (www.connectedautomateddriving.eu). FAME builds on a strong legacy of EU-funded Coordination and Support Actions ARCADE, CARTRE, VRA and FOT-Net, which have developed harmonised methodologies and federated large networks of stakeholders to drive consensus building on challenges, needs and requirements for CCAM.
