iDriving works in a big, busy European R&I landscape where many projects tackle adjacent pieces of the same puzzle. To make sure results are reusable, comparable, and easier to adopt, iDriving actively collaborates with sister projects and participates in European clustering initiatives. The goal is simple: share what works, align what can be aligned, and accelerate impact on real roads.
Our collaboration is structured around two levels:
(1) Direct synergies with sister projects, where we exchange approaches, lessons learned, and opportunities for alignment in pilots, methods, and stakeholder engagement.
(2) Participation in European project clusters, where iDriving connects with a wider community of initiatives working on road safety, CCAM technologies, trustworthy AI, resilient perception, and evidence-based planning.
Collaboration with CAMBER and EvoRoads
iDriving has established an active synergy track with CAMBER and EvoRoads, two Horizon Europe sister projects with strong thematic overlap in data-driven road safety, monitoring and predictive approaches, and deployment on urban and secondary roads.
This collaboration is practical, not symbolic. It includes shared workshops, cross-participation in meetings, and joint exploration of interoperability opportunities. A shared collaboration space has also been enabled to exchange working materials and support continuity between meetings.
Recent highlights
- A first joint workshop (online) brought the three projects together to compare requirements, criteria, challenges, and best practices for implementing a holistic, data-driven Safe System approach.
- EvoRoads contributed a dedicated session during iDriving’s 2nd plenary meeting (Paris), focusing on clustering opportunities and concrete collaboration topics.
- Follow-up discussions explored potential collaboration opportunities in thematically similar pilots and, where relevant, in common locations.
Cluster 1: EU Road Safety Cluster
iDriving is a member of the EU Road Safety Cluster, a collaboration platform that unites Horizon Europe projects working toward safer urban mobility and improved protection of vulnerable road users (VRUs). The cluster supports joint visibility, knowledge exchange, and shared learning across complementary research directions.
The cluster brings together projects that cover different layers of the road safety challenge, including:
- AI4CCAM: trustworthy and ethical AI for predicting VRU behaviour and supporting user acceptance of automated mobility.
- EVENTS: resilient perception and decision-making for Connected and Automated Vehicles under unexpected “events” (e.g., adverse weather/light, unstructured environments, imperfect data, sensor/communication failures).
- FRODDO: AI-driven tools, digital twins, and smart sensing to support safer, more adaptive and efficient CCAM ecosystems.
- HEIDI: cooperative Human–Machine Interfaces that connect drivers/vehicles and pedestrians to reduce risk in dangerous situations.
- PHOEBE: predictive, evidence-based road safety frameworks to support urban transport planning and proactive risk management.
- ProtAct-Us: standardising and correlating long-term health consequences of road crashes using medical, epidemiological, and engineering methods.
- SOTERIA: data-driven safety intelligence for integrating e-micromobility in cities, with co-creation and inclusivity for VRUs.
For iDriving, the EU Road Safety Cluster is a strong fit because it creates a wider space where infrastructure intelligence (monitoring, prediction, warning) can be connected with advances in AI, simulation, HMI, and VRU-centric safety design.

Cluster 2: Integrated CCAM Technology Cluster
iDriving also engages with the Integrated CCAM Technology Cluster, which connects projects developing enabling technologies for Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM). The cluster works toward shared approaches that reduce fragmentation and improve comparability—especially around architectures, interfaces, validation methods, and performance metrics.
For iDriving, this cluster is valuable because it connects road infrastructure intelligence with the broader CCAM ecosystem: the place where interoperability, evaluation consistency, and deployment readiness become non-negotiable.
Why these collaborations matter
Synergies and clustering help iDriving move from “project outputs” to shared building blocks that can be adopted by road authorities, operators, and industry stakeholders. They support:
- Faster learning and replication, by exchanging lessons and avoiding duplicated effort
- More interoperability and comparability, by aligning concepts, interfaces, and evaluation approaches where feasible
- Stronger uptake, by connecting research results with stakeholder needs, standardisation pathways, and policy conversations
Want to collaborate?
We welcome collaboration with public authorities, road operators, industry stakeholders, standardisation bodies, and research initiatives working on safer roads, infrastructure intelligence, and CCAM deployment.
