Mobility Convention 2014
2014-11-06 07:00 - 2014-11-07 16:00
Transportation of tomorrow – Enabling smarter intermodality
Intermodality is the key to sustainable passenger mobility, and improving the interfaces is a major challenge in taking mobility to the next level. As new technologies develop and customer behavior changes, fundamental questions have to be asked again: Which are the mobility needs of people in the future? How will they travel? What kind of concepts and new challenges lie ahead? Which role will intermodality play?
The social perspective of mobility will also be addressed at the Convention. Furthermore, to reflect the global nature of mobility, experiences and perspectives from other regions will be shared to complement the European view.
The Mobility Convention 2014 will bring together top-level experts representing industry, research, and the users to discuss smarter intermodality, to share the latest developments, insights, and challenges.
The Convention will give a unique overview of recent and future trends, and also strengthen links between the different stakeholders. This will give rise to new research topics, novel strategic and operational options, and innovative technological solutions.
