Continental Engineering Services (CES) is actively engaged in pioneering research and development projects aimed at enhancing Connected and Cooperative Automated Mobility (CCAM) solutions. These projects, funded by the European Union and other partners, focus on making AI technologies in mobility more trustworthy, explainable, and accountable.
AIThena: Building Trustworthy and Explainable AI in CCAM
The AITENA project is a key initiative in the field of CCAM, aiming to develop AI-based solutions that are not only innovative but also reliable and transparent. CES plays a significant role in AIThena by creating AI algorithms designed to improve the explicability of AI models. This enhancement is crucial for safety experts to accurately assess AI-driven solutions and implement strategies to improve AI software quality.
AITHENA is funded by both the European Union and the Swiss Federation, underscoring the importance and collaborative nature of this research. The project focuses on AI-based perception, situational awareness, and decision-making components within CCAM systems, ensuring that these technologies are robust, accountable, and trustworthy.

SUNRISE: Ensuring Safety in Automated Mobility
Another vital project CES is involved in is SUNRISE, which concentrates on the safety assurance of CCAM systems. SUNRISE is dedicated to developing reliable test and assessment methods that can handle every possible driving scenario.Â
By employing a scenario-based approach and combining both physical and virtual testing environments, the project aims to ensure the reliability of CCAM technologies.
SUNRISE is funded by the European Union and includes numerous initiatives where CES continuously contributes its expertise. This project is pivotal in making sure that automated mobility systems are dependable and safe for widespread use.

BERTHA: Developing Human-Like Autonomous Vehicles
CES is also a participant in the BERTHA project, an EU Public-Private Partnership (PPP) initiative. BERTHA aims to develop a scalable and probabilistic Driver Behavioural Model (DBM) based on the Bayesian Belief Network. The goal is to create autonomous vehicles that exhibit more human-like driving behaviors, thereby increasing road safety.
The BERTHA project represents a significant step towards making autonomous vehicles more intuitive and safer for everyday use.
CES’s involvement in this project highlights its commitment to advancing AI in the field of automated mobility.
