BigDataEurope and the Societal Challenge on Transport
2017-09-14 10:00 - 16:30 (Europe/Brussels)
BigDataEurope is a project within the EU’s Horizon 2020 framework programme aiming to build a knowledge- and innovation-based society and to strengthen the competitiveness of Europe’s economy. The project started in 2015 and will culminate at the end of 2017.
BigDataEurope has developed and provides an integrated stack of tools to manipulate, publish and use large-scale data resources. These tools are freely accessible to all, including those with minimal knowledge of the technologies involved, and have already been installed in customised data processing chains. The Big Data Integrator Platform is a key outcome of the Big Data Europe project. It is an ecosystem of specifications and reference implementations that are attractive to both current players and newcomers from all parts of the data value chain.
At the core of the BigDataEurope project are seven societal challenges or focus areas – health, food, energy, transport, climate, social sciences, and security. Transport is societal challenge 4 (SC4) and contributes to smarter, safer, and cleaner transport, using beyond-state-of-the-art data solutions and giving rise to a European leadership for new mobility services.
The workshop will demonstrate the value of the recently launched Platform by showcasing the pilot, and aim to collect feedback from stakeholders requiring transport solutions on how the platform can be extended to increase its value and facilitate further applications. The workshop will also feature a panel debate discussing the transformation that big data is bringing to the transport industry and presenting some of the current EU funded projects working with transport and big data.

The Draft Agenda is available on the website.
Registration is on Eventbrite here.

Conference: High Quality Positioning: A Key to Success for Autonomous Driving
2017-10-04 | BluePoint Brussels, Blvd Auguste Reyers 80, Brussels, 1030, Belgium
Date: 4th of October 2017
Location: BluePoint Brussels, 80 Bd. A. Reyers https://goo.gl/maps/dX7RERxy6TC2
Joint organisation with ERTICO
Organisers: F. Peyret, P.-Y. Gilliéron: chair of SaPPART; F. Fischer: ERTICO

Conference abstract
The deployment of autonomous vehicles is becoming a reality on the European road network and will significantly affect the future liability of different actors in the road and transport sectors. Liability is strongly linked with the trust that you can have in a system, like a vehicle with advanced driver assistance or automatic driving capabilities. In these applications vehicle positioning is one of the most critical components because most of the decisions are based on the location of the vehicle itself and of other vehicles and objects in its vicinity.
This conference is the final event of the EU COST Action” Satellite Positioning Performance Assessment for Road Transport” (SaPPART). At this conference, the main outcomes of the Action will be presented within the context of very demanding applications such as autonomous driving.

Workshop Smart & Green Mobility Solutions @BrabantStad – Now and in the future
2017-10-11 11:00 - 14:00
A European Week of Regions and Cities side event: 11.10.2017 in Brussels
On Wednesday October 11th 2017 from 11.00h -14.00h BrabantStad organises, with POLIS support, an energetic workshop which focuses on Smart & Green Mobility Solutions. Brabant wants cleaner, economical and better possibilities of transport, both in the field of passenger and freight transport. Innovative, smart mobility solutions are therefore very crucial. Due to developments in the field of ICT, social innovation with its multi helix collaboration, Brabant has become a leader in smart mobility concepts.

With a 90-minute dynamic and interactive program, we intend to outline a number of moonshots in the field of automated & connected driving, cycle innovations, smart logistics, zero emission buses and ‘Mobility as a Service’. Where do we stand in Brabant in these areas in about 10 years? Are we driving by a self-driving car across the A58 from Breda to Helmond? How many zero emission vehicles are driving on the Brabant motorways? Does your bike decide which route is the most convenient? Has Brabant introduced a ‘killer-app’ for Mobility as a Service (MaaS)? How many new smart mobility companies are booming? Will empty trucks be still on the road? Is Brabant known in Europe as ‘Region of Smart Mobility’? How do we realise these moonshots? Why do other European regions want to collaborate with Brabant in projects, business development and partnerships?

C-MobILE stakeholders workshop: needs and requirements for large scale C-ITS deployment
2017-11-23
When: 23 November, 2017, from 9:30 to 17:30 CET
Where: Bilbao, Spain
C-MobILE (Accelerating C-ITS Mobility Innovation and depLoyment in Europe) is a European project deploying cooperative intelligent transport systems and services (C-ITS) designed to deal with mobility challenges in several cities across Europe. The project aims to help local authorities deploy the C-ITS services they need and to engage with stakeholders and road users by assessing benefits against costs.
C-MobILE’s vision is of a European road network which is safer, more efficient, more sustainable and economically viable while minimising environmental impacts and protecting vulnerable road users.
To realise this vision, the first step is to develop a better understanding of the vision and priorities of public authorities as well as the needs and requirements of end-users and key stakeholders. The C-MobILE consortium has already completed a preliminary analysis of existing deployments in several European cities and gathered feedback from local actors and targeted stakeholder groups via an online C-ITS survey.
This workshop will bring public authorities, end-users and key stakeholders together to define technical and non-technical requirements for C-ITS services and how best to ‘bundle’ the various applications so that they provide better value for money. By bringing key transport and mobility stakeholders around the same table, the C-MobILE consortium intends to establish strong partnerships and ultimately achieve sustainable large scale deployments of C-ITS services. After this workshop, stakeholders will be able to remain in contact via the Stakeholders Forum and get involved in other C-MobILE project activities, which are open to all transport and mobility stakeholders.
The draft agenda is available here.
Participation in the workshop is free of charge (apart from your own travel expenses), but registration is necessary. To register to the workshop, please click here.
We look forward to welcoming you in Bilbao and thank you for your time and your valuable collaboration,
The C-MobILE Consortium

International Conference “Smart Cities and Mobility as a Service”
2017-12-07 - 2017-12-08 | University of Patras Conference and Cultural Center, Panepistimioupoli Patron , Patras, 265 04, Greece
The University of Patras, Department of Civil Engineering, in cooperation with ITS Hellas and with the support of the Hellenic Institute of Transportation Engineers are organizing the “Smart Cities and Mobility as a Service” International Conference.
Smart cities use digital technologies to enhance performance and wellbeing, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. The value of these cities lies in the ability to collect and combine three types of intelligence: the human of the population, the collective of the innovation institutions and the artificial of the digital networks and applications.
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) describes mobility opportunities and solutions that are consumed as a service, shifting away from personally owned modes of transportation. MaaS combines mobility services from public and private transportation providers. A unified platform creates and manages the trips available to the users, through a single account. MaaS offers mobility solutions based on need both for travelers and goods.
Within the framework of Smart Cities and Mobility as a Service, the Conference is an opportunity for industry, public organizations, local government and authorities, universities, researchers, consultants, constructors and freelancers to exchange views on arising problems and solutions.
You could participate in the International Conference and present your scientific work on specific topics. For more information regarding the International Conference you can visit: conference2017.upatras.gr
