The CCAM (Cooperative Connected Automated Mobility) Transportation research pilot is being led by researchers at the Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS) in Greece. The main goal is to build an up-to-date database of scientific knowledge about CCAM, using research from European-funded projects and combining it with existing OpenAIRE resources.

The transportation research data in the BEOPEN (https://beopen.openaire.eu/) community portal provides a foundation; however, it needs significant updates to reflect the latest developments in CCAM technology. Due to the field's rapid evolution, terminology, methodologies, and research findings must be continuously updated. To meet this challenge, the pilot has integrated information from recent EU-funded projects like SINFONICA, ARCADE, and FAME. Using SciLake's advanced tools, the pilot analyses specific CCAM-related terminology and classifications from these projects. Our research team carefully reviews and refines this information to ensure accuracy and relevance.

The comprehensive update aims to achieve three key objectives: discovering previously unknown datasets, identifying significant research papers, and highlighting emerging trends in CCAM technology. This update will provide researchers with a more complete and up-to-date understanding of the field.

What we have achieved so far

The pilot has made significant progress in several key areas:

  • Developed comprehensive Knowledge Space and Graph Data Model
  • Enhanced the OpenAIRE "Transportation Research" Gateway with CCAM-specific content
  • Established benchmarking framework using relevant publications
  • Configured and tested SciLake components for optimal performance

Guiding CCAM Research through Scientific Knowledge Graphs

SciLake is in full swing with its pilot programs in the fields of neuroscience, cancer research, transportation, and energy. These initiatives aim to create or enrich domain-specific Scientific Knowledge Graphs that capture valuable knowledge from each scientific field.

The SciLake CCAM Transport Pilot aims to consolidate the existing knowledge around Cooperative Connected Automated Mobility (CCAM) to enrich the Transportation Scientific Knowledge Graph (SKG) of the OpenAIRE Community.

Leading the pilot are researchers from I-SENSE, a Research Group of the Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS) of the National Technical University of Athens.

The Maritime Transportation Research pilot aims to improve the management of maritime data and scientific knowledge to enable safer, more sustainable, and more efficient maritime operations. At its core is the maritime knowledge graph that tackles fragmented maritime data sources by unifying diverse information into a single accessible platform.

This innovative approach facilitates data-driven decision-making for maritime stakeholders, including operators, policymakers, and researchers. Critical maritime industry needs are addressed through data standardization, safety enhancement, and emissions reduction. The pilot will help improve vessel tracking, optimise fuel consumption, and support regulatory compliance in different regions by reconciling data sources and incorporating real-time monitoring capabilities.

The knowledge graph's structure efficiently connects various data types - Publications, Regulations, Funding Agencies, and Research Projects - through nodes and relationships. These connections map out research fields, citations, and funding networks, enabling stakeholders to identify maritime trends and understand relationships between publications, researchers, funding sources, and vessels. This interconnected approach provides the maritime transportation research community with powerful tools for knowledge discovery, while emphasizing research impact and reproducibility.

What we have achieved so far

The pilot has made significant progress in several key areas:

  • Designed the domain knowledge space and graph data model that integrates maritime publications, regulations, research projects, and datasets within the OpenAIRE "Transportation Research" Gateway (https://beopen.openaire.eu/)
  • Provided and integrated sample maritime publications and regulations for testing SciLake components and services, establishing crucial benchmarks for system refinement
  • Facilitated knowledge transfer through active participation integration sessions for the Maritime Knowledge Graph

Next steps

  • Expansion and enrichment of the maritime knowledge graph with additional data sets from various sources.
  • Initiate usability testing by engaging key maritime stakeholders, including researchers, policy makers and industry experts, to evaluate system functionality and usability.
  • Strengthening collaboration and dissemination activities by presenting SciLake services at key transport research events.
