The SINFONICA Knowledge Map Explorer is a user-friendly tool that offers a tailored knowledge base and user-centric best practices to support the implementation and deployment of CCAM solutions. It provides specific guidelines aimed at fostering inclusive, equitable, efficient, and accessible deployments, taking into account diverse user needs, geographical contexts, and decision-making processes to enhance capacity building across different perspectives.

The Knowledge Map Explorer can be used for a variety of stakeholders involved in CCAM ecosystem, such as Transport Operators, Public Administration etc.

You either press the "Start" button at the home page or press "Knowledge Map Explorer" in the ribbon tab.

In the Knowledge Map Explorer, you can access data-driven recommendations and evidence-based guidelines aligned with stakeholder-specific priorities and end-user functional requirements, designed to support strategic planning, system design, and the deployment of innovative mobility solutions within the CCAM ecosystem.

The Knowledge Map Explorer serves as an intelligent navigation system that offers stakeholders specialized guidance on implementing CCAM solutions, based on the user type, context, and scenario. The KME recommends best practices in CCAM, based on explicit and inferred knowledge. The result is a tool that empowers stakeholders with accessible, domain-specific insights, supporting the development of truly inclusive CCAM technologies.

Yes, the SINFONICA Knowledge Map Explorer is accessible from mobile devices. For the best experience, we recommend visiting this website on a desktop device. Given the high volume of data and visual content, the desktop version offers a more optimized and comfortable viewing experience.

SINFONICA stands for Social INnovation to FOster iNclusIve cooperative, Connected and Automated mobility. The project is funded by the EU and aims to facilitate the shift toward innovative, smart mobility concepts in an inclusive and equitable way, through the adoption of an approach that always puts users and their needs at the centre.

In recent years, new types of buses and cars has started to become available. Some vehicles are ”connected” and  “cooperative” and use technology to talk to each other and infrastructure such as traffic lights. Another example are “automated” or “driverless” vehicles. These can also perform some or all of the tasks carried out by a driver, for instance keeping the vehicle at a certain speed or within a lane. There are some systems which detect obstacles using cameras or radar. It is expected that vehicles will be able to drive themselves, perhaps initially in certain places or when the weather is good.

Collectively, we call these new types of transport Connected Cooperative Automated Mobility or CCAM.

Transport that can be used easily by everyone and considers the needs of all groups of people.

This study is grounded in a community-based research (CBR) approach, which emphasizes collaboration with local stakeholders and in-depth engagement with communities. Given the nature of CBR, our methodology prioritizes quality and depth of understanding over broad generalization. As such, we selected four research sites across Europe that reflect diverse urban, social, and mobility contexts relevant to our study.
The decision to focus on these four sites was also shaped by practical considerations. Conducting community-based research requires substantial time and resources to build trust, facilitate participation, and ensure meaningful collaboration with local actors. Expanding this process to cover all European cities would have been unfeasible within the scope and timeframe of this study.
While the findings cannot be generalized to every city in Europe, the selected sites were chosen to provide insights into a range of experiences and conditions. The data collected offers valuable, context-rich information that contributes to a better understanding of broader trends and challenges, while also laying the groundwork for future research and comparative analysis.

The Knowledge Map Explorer generates recommendations based on responses to structured questionnaires. As such, the level of detail and relevance of the recommendations depend heavily on the quality and completeness of the input provided.

Currently, the tool does not incorporate user feedback, which limits its ability to adapt dynamically or improve over time based on user experience. Additionally, the platform is currently optimized for desktop use and may not perform as effectively on mobile or tablet devices.

CCAM Designer is another tool developed within the SINFONICA project by IRT SystemX. It allows to leverage the capabilities of agent-based simulation models to investigate a wide range of CCAM service configurations  in localized settings and assess their performance and impact on users with a focus on inclusivity. Various types of CCAM services (door-to-door, stop-based, line-based) are represented throughout the implemented study areas.
