Developing a common evaluation methodology for CCAM

The European research and innovation action FAME is developing a common evaluation methodology (CEM) that provides guidance on how to set up and carry out an evaluation or assessment of direct and indirect impacts of cooperative and connected automated mobility (CCAM) solutions. The CEM will be part of European framework for testing [of CCAM] on public roads. The objectives set for CEM include ensuring that subsequent evaluation results are easy to compare, allowing all projects to benefit from the best methodological practices found. This should maximise the benefits of the evaluation work carried out in this domain. Once the first version of CEM is complete it will be validated and piloted, i.e., applied in actual projects that need to prepare for an evaluation or impact assessment. For good uptake, consensus and CEM community building will be needed, as well as a strategy for the application of CEM in future projects
