PAVE Europe is excited to contribute to CHORUS, a Horizon Europe project aimed at improving the orchestration and trustworthiness of Connected, Cooperative and Automated mobility (CCAM) technologies across Europe. CHORUS brings together 36 partners from 9 countries, forming a multidisciplinary network of cities, technology providers, academic institutions, public transport operators, vehicle manufacturers, and policy organisations.
The goal of CHORUS is to develop, test, and promote solutions that ensure CCAM systems are interoperable, adaptable, and responsive to real-world transport needs. The project focuses on enhancing coordination between various transport actors and enabling mixed traffic conditions that include automated and conventional vehicles. Through a series of local demonstrations, CHORUS will show how CCAM can support more sustainable, efficient, and inclusive mobility systems.
To do this, CHORUS brings together a wide range of partners – including cities, researchers, technology providers, and mobility operators – to explore how connected and automated systems can work together in practice. The project is especially focused on real-world conditions, where public transport, shared vehicles, and freight services must interact seamlessly, whether automated or not. By testing new tools and approaches in several European cities, CHORUS aims to prove that well-coordinated mobility systems can improve traffic flow, reduce emissions, and make transportation more accessible for everyone.
PAVE Europe’s role in the project is in the way on CHORUS will connect with the general public, by sharing the project’s results in clear and accessible ways. This can be via short video lessons, live online classes, or in-person seminars across Europe. These activities are designed to reach a wide range of audiences; from city planners and transport operators to educators and everyday citizens.
PAVE Europe is also developing communication campaigns that help explain what connected and automated mobility means for people’s lives. By addressing both the benefits and concerns around these technologies, the aim is to build public trust and ensure that everyone feels part of the transition.
PAVE Europe will also help turn CHORUS findings into practical training materials that can be used in university courses and professional development programs. With guidance from our Academic Advisory Council, these materials will support the next generation of mobility professionals and help bring CHORUS innovations into classrooms and training rooms across Europe.
By supporting the CHORUS project, PAVE Europe continues its commitment to advancing safe, transparent, and inclusive automated mobility. Through outreach, education, and collaboration with partners, PAVE Europe will help ensure that the benefits of CCAM technologies are widely understood and accessible to all.
