ROADVIEW Final Event

Automated Driving in Adverse Weather Conditions

19 August 2026, AVL Mobility and Sensor Center Roding,
Schorndorfer Str. 91, 93426 Roding, Germany

About the ROADVIEW project

ROADVIEW is a Horizon Europe research and innovation project advancing automated driving technologies under challenging weather conditions, including rain, fog, snow and low visibility environments.

The project develops and validates a robust, integrated system architecture combining:

Advanced perception systems resilient to degraded visibility
Intelligent control and decision-making algorithms
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication
Cross-scenario validation in urban, highway and winter environments

By addressing key limitations of current automated driving systems, ROADVIEW contributes to safer, more reliable and scalable deployment of automated mobility solutions across Europe.

What to expect at the ROADVIEW Final Event

The ROADVIEW Final Event will present the project’s key results, innovations and real-world demonstrations, bringing together research, industry and policy stakeholders.

Participants will benefit from:

Insights into cutting-edge R&I results on perception, control and validation
Expert keynote contributions from leading actors in automated driving
A panel discussion on deployment, regulation and market readiness
Live demonstration of automated urban driving under realistic conditions
Opportunities for networking, exchange and collaboration

Who should attend?

This event is designed for stakeholders involved in automated mobility and intelligent transport systems, including:

Automotive OEMs and suppliers
Technology providers and SMEs
Research organisations and universities
Policymakers and regulatory bodies
Infrastructure operators and mobility service providers
