ABSTRACT=<p>The paradigm shift in transportation systems towards <italic>Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility</italic> (CCAM) aims to improve vehicle maneuverability, reduce pollution, and increase safety. CCAM is primarily responsible for ensuring the best mobility environment, making it one of the main trends in the automotive industry. However, taking advantage of CCAM in <italic>Cross-Border Corridors</italic> (CBCs) faces many challenges, which go beyond infrastructure deployment cost, and all of which are related to supporting <italic>Service Continuity</italic> (SC) for mobile users, especially in light of the diversity of territories, network coverage areas, international roaming agreements, and type of cooperative maneuvers. As a solution to these challenges, the paper proposes and implements a new architecture for CCAM SC in CBCs that combines a federation of <italic>Multi-access Edge Computing</italic> (MEC) concepts to maintain SC.</p>
