Aligning Research & Innovation for Connected and Automated Driving in Europe

ARCADE was a project that coordinated consensus-building across stakeholders for a harmonised deployment of Connected, Cooperative and Automated Driving (CAD).

ARCADE supported the commitment of the European Commission, the European Member States and the industry to develop a common approach to development, testing, validation and deployment of CAD in Europe and beyond.

The ARCADE project ran for three years and aimed to establish a joint stakeholders forum in order to coordinate and harmonise automated road transport approaches at European (e.g. strategic alignment of national action plans for automated driving) and international level (in particular with the US and Japan).

Towards this objective, ARCADE organised the Second European CAD conference in 2019 and was open to associated partners beyond the confinements of the consortium.

ARCADE was coordinated by ERTICO – ITS Europe.

ARCADE was funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 Work Programme.
