Next Generation Mobility: Powered by technology, driven by sustainability
Date and Time: 30 May 2022, Monday, 11:45-12:45
Location: MEETT Convention Centre
Session Description: Advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence, the development of ever more powerful sensor capabilities of the roadside infrastructure, and the increasingly ubiquitous potential of connectivity, thanks to 5G/6G and beyond, have provided a mature enough technological base to deliver Next Generation Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM). But ‘next-generation’ mobility solutions are no longer about technology alone. Future generations depend on a commitment to sustainability and an equitable distribution of resources and opportunities.
How can these new technologies face up to the challenge of providing Smart and Sustainable Mobility for All? What are some of the hurdles that need to be overcome in terms of common understanding and architectures, ethics, data bias, inclusivity, sustainable digitalisation, regulatory responses and persuading the public with proof of benefits?

Manoeuvring around obstacles on the road to deployment
Date and Time: 31 May 2022, 09:00 – 10:00
Location: MEETT Convention Centre
Session Description: In the last few decades, there have been a great many EU and national Government funded initiatives aimed at providing benefit to citizens in the areas of CCAM, Clean and Green Mobility, Urban Mobility and Transport & Logistics. Researchers, automobile manufacturers, Tier1 suppliers, network operators, city authorities and a range of other cross-domain stakeholders have been collaborating to develop and deploy Intelligent Transportation System solutions on large scales. However, some may argue that the promised safety, efficiency, sustainability and smart mobility impacts are slow to be realised.
What lessons can be learnt from some of the recent successes (and failures) of ITS deployment? What is the role of public authorities and government participation in deployment, especially in terms of citizen engagement, generating user acceptance, preventing monopolies and ensuring interoperability of solutions? Will open source as an enabling technology help or hinder the swift deployment of real, smart and sustainable solutions for all?

Sharing City Space: The ‘smart’ solution for all
Date and Time: 31 May 2022, 14:00 – 15:00
Location: MEETT Convention Centre
Session Description: For some time now, urban planners have been rethinking the concept and design of city spaces. The recent pandemic raised new awareness and potential acceptability of the idea of 15-minute cities. The focus here is on sustainable, green urban spaces with all services and amenities within reach through active modes alone. In such a scenario, the road share of ‘traditional’ transport would be reduced and different modes would have equal, if not greater, priority. At the same time urban air mobility solutions are also vying for the airspace above cities.
Are some modes ‘endangered’ in future city scenarios or can all survive in this rather limited space?What implications would this have for safety? What steps are needed for system optimisation for the use by both personal and freight transport in a sustainable and equitable manner?

Why aren’t we there yet? Getting MaaS to work (and everywhere)
Date and Time: 1 June 2022, 14:00 – 15:00
Location: MEETT Convention Centre
Session Description: The concept of Mobility-as-a-Service is a perfect example of technology being put to use in order to serve real needs of end-users in a tailor-made fashion. In recent years, many business cases have been developed for MaaS but its vast potential remains to be fully tapped. The absence of a broad uptake of the solutions provided appears to be due in part to the lack of interoperability across providers, platforms and geographical borders. But it is also a question of
changing behaviours and attitudes.
What should be the roles and responsibilities of the private and public sectors in rolling out MaaS, limiting monopolisation, and providing real value to the end users? What are the barriers in scaling up from local pilots to pan-European positioning? What lessons can be learnt from actual examples in cities, especially in terms of balancing transport of people and goods?
