As Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) systems evolve, ensuring their equitable deployment across diverse European contexts becomes increasingly critical. This work introduces the Five-Pointed Star Rating System (FPSRS), a novel evaluation framework that integrates cultural and geographic diversity into the assessment of CCAM equity. The FPSRS is structured around five key pillars. Inclusivity assesses spatial, physical, digital, and economic access to mobility services, focusing on underserved groups, including individuals with disabilities, limited digital literacy, or financial constraints. Network optimisation applies analytical and simulation-based models to evaluate CCAM integration within multimodal transport systems, aiming to ensure efficient and equitable service provision. Safety addresses disparities in crash risk and infrastructure readiness, using surrogate indicators to examine safety outcomes across user groups. Acceptance investigates willingness to adopt CCAM, particularly among disadvantaged populations, through stated preference methods that capture socio-demographic and attitudinal factors. Psychological factors explore trust, technophobia, and cultural attitudes toward automation to identify barriers and enablers of adoption. Together, these dimensions inform a holistic, user-centred equity assessment tool applicable across diverse contexts. Preliminary findings show FPSRS can support policymakers in creating CCAM systems that are technologically innovative and socially equitable.
