Strengthening C-ITS Adoption and Lining-up across Europe

ongoing

The SCALE project aims to upscale the deployment of mature C-ITS services and to support the technical development and impact assessments for large-scale deployment of new C-ITS use cases in 10 different representative European Pilot and Operations Sites. The project will put in place appropriate incentives to drive the transition towards a new generation of smart road transport and mobility services and thus contribute to ensure the European leadership on this matter, thus addressing persistent issues and challenges which so far have hampered the industrialisation of the C-ITS ecosystem in Europe. To ensure the best conditions for replicability, the Pilot and Operations Sites leaders, along with academic experts, key industrial partners and road network managers will focus their technical and impact evaluation on four global challenges: technological, environmental, safety, health and socio-economical. Relying on a strong consortium representative of transport and mobility stakeholders, the SCALE project expects to foster the adoption of C-ITS to all relevant stakeholders’ groups, by producing a global set of practical use cases, technological tools, impact assessment results and decision-making processes in order to maximise their industrialisation. In conjunction with the C-Roads Platform, SCALE will secure the leading contribution of European stakeholders to this topic. By addressing the challenges mentioned above, the SCALE project will contribute to the EU ‘Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy’, while indirectly contributing to the European Green Deal, the Vision Zero strategy, and the UN SDG 9, 11 and 13.
