Olivier Goethals’ Post

🛫 💼 On my way back home, waiting for boarding at Vienna Airport I had some time to reflect the All-Hands-Meeting that we had for our EuroCC projekt in the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia 🇸🇰 . First: I again am still surprised how much better face-to-face meetings are compared to our everyday online meetings. Especially when discussing controversial the arguments can be laid out much clearer, especially when you noticed how engaged people are, because you can see more than just their face! 💡🚦 What does this mean now for our project and of course especially for our target group: the (potential) users of HPC and AI in Europe, regardless whether they come from academia, industry or public adminstration? The exchange of ideas that we had during the three days was more than once enlightening: how others try to attract attention, provide the necessary and right information, how they find the right institutions and people whom they are able to help. 🔭 But what was also very helpful: to get an update on the competences around HPC and AI that all our partners have: not only the national competence centers (NCCs) of EuroCC, but also the Centers of Excellence (CoEs) that work on making simulation codes capable of exploiting the fuill potential of EXA-FLOPS systems. And it also became clear, that the information about where to find what is really crucial to be able to help all those who are interested in utilizing these technologies. 🚀 So be prepared to be supported even better by us, our partners at HLRS, at the NCC Germany and EuroCC :-) #EuroCC2 #HPC #HLRS #NCC_Germany

May has been a bustling month for the FAME project, marked by significant milestones and forward strides! 🌟 Check out the main highlights of the #newsletter issue! Key highlights: 🔹 EU-CEM Handbook: A comprehensive guide built on best practices and lessons learned, designed to ensure robust and feasible evaluation plans. 🔹 #Taxonomy Tool: Key terminology to support the EU-CEM and CCAM framework. 🔹 Collaborative Evaluation: Emphasizing the importance of thorough planning and good collaboration for better evaluation outcomes, aiding both industry and authorities. 🔹 Coen Bresser - Senior I&D Manager at ERTICO - ITS Europe and EvoRoads Project Coordinator shared his perspective on Safety for road infrastructure and CCAM in his latest contribution for the VIP Blog We released the first draft of the European Common Evaluation Methodology (EU-CEM) for #CCAM. Developed by the FAME team, the EU-CEM aims to guide the evaluation of direct and indirect socio-economic impacts on various user groups. This draft is now open for feedback, and we value your input to refine and perfect it. 🎥 Missed the #webinar? No worries! The recording and presentations are available https://lnkd.in/g3mhQUAc. What's Next? 🔸 We will be gathering feedback to update the EU-CEM and aim to release the final version by mid-2025. 🔸 Several targeted online workshops, a Summer School, and expert interviews will be organized to enhance the methodology. 📅 Upcoming Event: The deadline to submit your session proposal for #EUCAD2025 is June 30th, 17:00 CET. Don’t miss this opportunity to share your ideas on various CCAM topics. For more details and submission guidelines, visit https://lnkd.in/dCDPKCRr. Stay tuned and be part of the conversation! Your insights are invaluable as we pave the way for the future of connected and automated #mobility. #FAMEproject #CCAM #CEM #MobilityInnovation #EUCAD2025 #SmartMobility #Innovation #AutomatedDriving #knowledgebase https://lnkd.in/gVN_J3En

3rd day of #TRA2024 - Special Sessions on CCAM in the afternoon During the special session on Best Practices and Synergies to Deploy EU Research and Innovation, the discussion was centred on how to put research results into the market sooner and how to break down the barriers between different transport modes and enabling technologies. The CCAM Partnership mentioned their use case approach, which was recently established with the ERTRAC - European Road Transport Research Advisory Council WG (https://lnkd.in/eUhB7Vsa). In this approach, CCAM use cases are categorised based on their technological maturity. Not everything will be deployed at once, and the focus for large-scale demonstrations and deployment should be on innovation use cases that are closer to the market. In CCAM, it is important to prioritise safety before deployment and to be patient and persistent. CCAM works closely with 2Zero and recently with AI, Data and Robotics partnership and the Chips JU. The collaboration with digital technologies was emphasised as an excellent example to follow. The discussion concluded with the need to coordinate better funding opportunities for research with those for deployment, which was the main wish for the next Framework Programme. We extend our thank you to all the panellists for sharing their views on the coordination between EU partnerships in the transport research sector. Synergies with other funding programmes are essential, too, for deploying EU innovations. The session "Bridging Roads Infrastructure and Vehicles: Synergies in European Transport Research", co-organised by the CCAM Partnership and Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR), focused on exploring the interplay between road infrastructure research and vehicle-related research. The main objective was to discuss the synergies in European transport research that aim to improve safety, digitalisation, and automation. The following key themes were discussed during the session: - Safety and Resilience: The speakers emphasised the need for infrastructure safety improvements, resilience in critical situations, and proactive governance to ensure the safety benefits of CCAM. - Digitalisation and Automation: Discussions revolved around the importance of digital infrastructure, data quality frameworks, and the integration of automation technologies to enhance traffic flow management and energy efficiency. - Collaboration and Standardisation: Collaboration among stakeholders, standardisation efforts, and national strategies were highlighted as crucial for the successful deployment of CCAM and the harmonisation of traffic rules across borders. #CCAM #EUTransportResearch #EUPartnerships #Collaboration #Synergies #Safety #Resilience #Digitalisation #Automation #Standardisation

See you next week at #egov2024 to explore the role of government and the private sector and how they can work together in building a path to digital societies.
