MODI’s progress assessing Rotterdam-Oslo CCAM Corridor for Level 4 Automation

The MODI project has completed the first trip and data collection along the CCAM test corridor from Rotterdam to Oslo and back. This is a major step forward in assessing the corridor’s readiness for automated driving at SAE Level 4, which is one of the project’s use cases. The data collection targets critical road segments and challenges that autonomous vehicles might encounter. By pinpointing these challenges, the project can pave the way for the optimal implementation of automated logistics within international transportation.

Though no actual L4 driving will take place, the gathered data is crucial for understanding the corridor’s readiness for advanced CCAM technology. The assessment will involve:

• Identifying potential barriers related to both infrastructure (PDI) and vehicle technology that hinder Level 4 driving.
• Mapping the current infrastructure status and analyzing the data to evaluate the corridor’s readiness.

The first trip along the corridor covered an impressive 3400 km each way, encompassing five countries and one EU border with customs procedures (Sweden/Norway). The final data collection and assessment is expected in 2025.
