The movement of people and goods has always been a fundamental human need, however, several issues are driving a fundamental re-think of what mobility means: increasing traffic congestion, unviability of rural public transport, increasing demand for fast-delivery of goods, rising fuel costs and climate change. To address these, we are deploying new technologies, such as hyperconnectivity between vehicles, infrastructure and people, intelligent automation and electrification. And as a result, we are blurring the boundaries between different transport modes to deliver smart, connected, cooperative, multi-purpose mobility systems where automated vehicles transport individuals, passenger groups and goods on demand, safely, reliably and efficiently, whilst doing so in a fully carbon-neutral manner.
In this session, we will discuss the drivers for this vision but also look at key requirements and challenges, such as vehicle connectivity, smart roads, sensor fusion, electric powertrain, smart grid, functional safety and vehicle cyber security. We will also consider new uses cases and business models, such as mobility as a service, on-demand robotized delivery, future human to vehicle interfaces, on-demand transport pods and smart fleet management.
