How we counted it
91 distinct entities on , counting coordinator, participants and third parties, from 13 countries (the list has 92 rows because Robert Bosch GmbH appears twice). Coordinated by the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), of Belgium. Source: SHOW on CORDIS - AEVAC's role

- Deliverable D9.4 (page 64) lists AEVAC among the external entities attending an information session on the Madrid pilot, in March 2022, together with the DGT (Spain's traffic authority) and AEDIVE. D9.4 documents that attendance. Source: SHOW deliverable D9.4 (PDF)
Description
SHOW tested fleets of automated, shared, connected and electric vehicles in real cities, within public transport, , and logistics. The tests took place in 20 European cities. CORDIS descriptors include accessibility, inclusion and equity. It was coordinated by UITP, the International Association of Public Transport. It ended on 30 September 2024.
Goal
To help the shift to more sustainable urban transport, with technical solutions, business models and scenarios to measure the impact of shared automated vehicles.
Consortium results
- The project ran large-scale tests with more than 160,000 passengers and more than 3,000 cargo deliveries. Source: SHOW results on CORDIS
- The project deployed 74 automated and (, buses, robotaxis and cargo vehicles) in 20 European cities. Source: SHOW results on CORDIS
- The project produced practical guides for the transport sector and for cities. In March 2025, CORDIS said that the policy recommendations for the European Commission were about to be finalised. Source: SHOW results on CORDIS
- The project created a Simulation Suite (a set of simulation tools) that models the impact of autonomous vehicles on the city and on specific streets. Source: SHOW results on CORDIS
