Empowering mobility with secure and accessible data
2020-06-03 14:00 - 16:00, 2020-06-04 14:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Brussels)
Data-driven innovation will bring enormous benefits for citizens in the area of mobility and it will reshape the way we produce, consume and live. ERTICO is organising a two-day virtual conference supported by its valued Partner BlackBerry to promote the discussion between the private and the public sector on needs, requirements, business bottlenecks and safety concerns in data-powered mobility.
The European Commission, in its European Strategy for Data published earlier this year refers to the establishment of the Common European Mobility Data Space that will position Europe at the forefront of the development of an Intelligent Transport System. Discussions and debates about the future of mobility continue and are more topical than ever. Due to the global health crisis caused by COVID-19, transport policy is being re-visited and re-shaped both in Europe and globally. This dialogue is being intensified during the temporary ‘pause’ experienced by the transport sector due to COVID-19.
This Virtual Conference Empowering mobility with secure and accessible data will address the issues that are underpinning the effectiveness and safety in mobility and the existing mobility schemes currently available and it will discuss the potential for clean mobility at a time when priorities for decision-makers and users might be changing. A new mobility paradigm is being created out of necessity (our urge to move vs our need to be safe) and the plans of the European Commission to proceed towards common European data spaces along with the discussion on stakeholder cooperation in data sharing has to finally yield results.
Four distinct panels will tackle these issues with distinguished speakers providing a clear direction on the new and innovative developments taking place in the mobility sector. The Virtual Conference will take place on 3 and 4 June 2020 from 14.00-16.00. There will an opportunity for participants to pose questions to the Speaker panels.

It has also collected information sets made of real usage data, traces from dedicated ICT tools, and users’ opinions after real trips.
The information and data collected will be used to generate detailed guidelines and business models for service providers, planning authorities, and manufacturers in order to make EL-Vs more attractive and more integrated in the transport and electricity networks.
In this regard, ELVITEN partners organise a webinar on “Experiences and recommendations for EL-Vs usage in urban environments in pre and post COVID -19 era” which will be held on 1 September 2020, from 10.00 am to 12.00 am.
ELVITEN wishes interested stakeholders and members to participate in the webinar to discuss and understand the COVID-19 impact on e-mobility along with some recommendations. The webinar will also have a question & answer session where you can interact with the panellists.

ERTICO Academy Webinar: Traffic management - loop and governance
2020-09-11 15:00 - 16:30 (Europe/Brussels)
With the developments in CCAM and the gradual move from scheduled to demand driven mobility, information on real-time traffic should ideally loop backwards to the traffic control and management points. If we wish to have a mobility system that is able to ‘see’ the whole picture of traffic on real time, we need to re-think mobility and its modes and explore systems that can satisfy the complex needs and requirements of all stakeholders involved.
This ERTICO Academy webinar aims to discuss how traffic management is currently evolving as well as the goals and objectives it should be reaching. Panellists from SWARCO, ARMIS, the Austrian Institute of Technology and the Joint research Centre (EC) will brainstorm in an interesting discussion.
Come and join us!
Date: 11 September 2020
Time: 15:00 – 16:30 CET
