Periodic Reporting for period 2 - Move2CCAM (MethOds and tools for comprehensive impact Assessment of the CCAM solutions for passengers and goods)

Reporting period: 2024-03-01 to 2025-06-30

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

Move2CCAM has the overall aim to develop a practical system dynamics-based assessment tool that can enable the evaluation of CCAM use cases’ impact on mobility-, socio-economic-, public health- and environmental-related aspects. Using the tool and additional project key outcomes, Move2CCAM shall guide decision makers from public and private organisations through training courses and recommendations about optimal CCAM solution designs and how certain strategic design choices may affect the objectives of different stakeholders. Move2CCAM results will enable CCAM innovation and a facilitation of a common evaluation framework. To achieve the latter, the project has undergone an extensive citizens and organisations engagement campaign in which different use cases, business models, Key Performance Indicators have been co-created and evaluated across three regions, GZM in Poland, Helmond in Netherlands, and the North Aegean in Greece.

Work performed from the beginning of the project to the end of the period covered by the report and main results achieved so far

WP1
During the 2RP WP1 had already been completed, however, WP1 focused to set the ground of the project with the definition of the use cases, scenarios, business models and indicators to use in the project as well as the roadmap of the data to collect, the procedures to establish for collecting and analysis data and the ethics and strategy to address this issue for the co-creation activities of the project. Also, WP1 developed an online knowledge bank that contains the key findings from the literature review and from the co-creation activities.

WP2
As part of WP2 we produced a strategy for targeting and engaging Satellite organisations involved in the development of CCAM solutions on a pan- European level. We also developed a framework for involving diverse citizen groups from each region in our project. We have implemented a series of co-creation activities with citizens and organisations from each project region. Activities involved participation in online engagement platforms, online and offline workshops, as well as completing questionnaires. We explored perceptions of self driving vehicles and services, and ideas that could make them more relevant and tailored to each region. We have also investigated perceived impacts of the deployment of these services for participating regions, and estimated timelines for implementation. Participants also co-created business models for self driving vehicles and services. As part of our final engagement activity, we presented a BETA version of the IAMT tool to get participants feedback on the tool’s purpose, functionality and user experience and demonstrate how their ongoing participation on the MOVE2CCAM project has contributed to the development of the IAMT tool. Finally, we produced a series of training materials in relation to co-creation in the context of CCAM research; including a publicly available comprehensive training reader and the delivery of two co-creation training sessions. The recording of the online training webinar is available online.

WP3
The final data management plan was submitted. Secondary data collection was finalised. The impact analyses (citizens and organisations) and the social and environmental lifecycle analyses were completed

WP4
The main outcome of WP4 during the second and final reporting period is related to the final version of the MOVE2CCAM Impact Assessment Tool. The final version of the tool sets the stage for a paradigm shift in assessing the transformative potential of emerging transportation technologies by presenting a detailed conceptual architecture, the visualization dashboard, and the intricate technical design. During the second reporting period of the project, the theoretical and mathematical foundation of the tool were finalized, while also concluding on the visualization dashboard of the tool, while also testing and validating the tool in the three prototypical regions and integrating it in the BABLE’s website to enhance its exploitability and sustainability.

WP5
In this WP we supported the project's dissemination activities, specifically those intended for increasing the uptake of the IAMT tool and other key exploitable results. The consortium had significant participation in CCAM-focused events such as the Multicluster meeting of the CCAM partnership, EUCAD conference, and RTR Conference, among others. Moreover, WP5 supported the project's Open Science, during the 2RP Move2CCAM supported the development of 3 master's thesis and 1 PhD thesis in UCL. Likewise under this same task, the project supported the publication of 5 scientific publications. Last but not least, WP5 supported the development of the exploitation and commercialisation plan of the project's key exploitable results. The exploitation plan was built through a bottom-up approach considering the opinion of the consortium and assessing the feasibility of their support post-Move2CCAM.

WP6
As part of this WP, activities were developed to manage the development of all deliverables through the bi-weekly Scientific & Technical Committee meetings, oversee and mitigate risks associated to the completion of milestones, and maintaining communication within the consortium. Moreover, WP6 developed administrative tasks to develop Amendments, BEN 3 termination, and the 2RP technical and financial report checkup.

Progress beyond the state of the art and expected potential impact (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far)

Move2CCAM will contribute to the state of the art through two outcomes. 1) System-wide impact assessment: MOVE2CCAM aims to build on existing System Dynamics (SD) studies and frameworks for transportation system assessment and address existing gaps by developing a new SD-based CCAM Impact Assessment Tool (the IAMT). The IAMT primarily aims to satisfy the emerging need to analyse, capture and eventually quantify the complex evolutionary dynamics between and across mobility, societal, economic, and environmental aspects, in the context of emerging transportation systems where traditional mobility types compete or collaborate with new disruptive CCAM interventions. 2) Participatory methods based on co-creation and systems & design thinking approaches: new co-creation systems wide paradigm pinpoints the importance of collaboration of different stakeholders to boost innovative solutions. However, researchers and practitioners face some challenges of how to understand different co-creation systems thinking approaches and transferability to other contexts, social and cultural environments. There is a lack of studies to detail how co-creation instruments operate under different socio-cultural conditions & under multi-systems and systems wide participation. MOVE2CCAM will develop a framework for co-creation multisystems engagement activities, and apply and test it through the Satellites in the context of CCAM. Several cocreative and systems thinking methods will be updated and new methods such as scenario exploration will be included. This framework will be applicable at any context.
