Solutions for cities and citizens
The demand for urban space is intense – passenger and freight vehicles, active modes such as walking & cycling, and also parking. Connectivity brings new knowledge on traffic origin, destination and position; is this enough to reduce travel time for the community overall while giving optimal services to individual customers as well as better air quality?
Example keywords:
- climate goals and action plans (a.o. Green Deal)
- new ITS services for walking and cycling
- digital twins
- spatial allocation
- collaborative strategies
- data-sharing
- cross border solutions
- smart parking
- real-time information
- demand management
- predictive network management
- influencing traveller behaviour
- citizens engagement and co-creation
- mobility management
New services from new technologies
Innovation in ITS is a constant process. What might be the benefits for end-users from developments with established technologies and completely new solutions – for example – on-vehicle sensors, batteries and other energy storage, fuel cells, blockchain, lightweight materials, artificial intelligence, maps and location systems, drones?
Example keywords:
- unmanned aerial vehicles (Urban Air Mobility/ UAM)
- distributed ledgers
- quantum computing
- deep learning
- display technologies
- non-chemical energy storage
- GNSS constellations
- inductive charging
- start-ups
- next generation of communication
- skills development
- new business models
Intelligent Infrastructure
The digitising of physical infrastructure enables smarter mobility for all with associated gains from more efficient asset maintenance and management. But how do we share data from these systems while retaining high levels of privacy, reliability and data security? Can we upgrade legacy systems? How can we best integrate terrestrial and satellite services?
Example keywords:
- IoT
- predictive maintenance
- sensors
- V2V and V2X
- legacy systems
- data management
- data privacy and ownership
- new business and operational models
- probe vehicles and FVD
- system of systems
- emergency & incident management
- digital twins
- eCall
- mapping and geolocation
Goods journey from ports to customers
The technologies underpinning automated and connected driving offer substantial gains for goods delivery. Paperwork can be reduced while fleet utilisation and load tracking can both be improved. Automated and electrified vehicles promise gains for hub-to-hub as well as “last mile” deliveries in cities. How can we streamline the trip from ship to shop to consumers?
Example keywords:
- data sharing platforms
- logistics platforms
- last mile delivery
- micro depots
- distribution hubs
- load sharing
- interoperability
- green vehicle routeing
- paperless vehicle and load tracking
- delivery parking and secure parking
- traffic management
- linked digital information systems
- maritime applications and 5G solution
Mobility on Demand, Mobility as a Service
Traditional mobility is a mix of low utilisation private vehicle ownership and open access public transport. MaaS and MOD use a platform and personalised user interfaces to provide multimodal ‘mobility’ for all users with savings and productivity gains. Achieving this requires changes to business models, users’ habits and the subsidising of public transport.
Example keywords:
- user behaviour
- user acceptance
- city authorities’ needs
- business models and cases
- mobility platform systems
- hubs
- standards
- multimodality
- micromobility
- ticketing and payment
- pilots, trials and tests
- data sharing
- apps designs,
- ride sharing and hailing services
- sustainable mobility
- regulation and de-regulation
- institutional & legal issues
- interoperability & cross border services
Automated & Connected Driving
Improvements to artificial intelligence, sensors, data processing, communications, mapping and location technologies have catalysed the development of highly automated and highly connected vehicles. This promises gains in safety, air quality, network management and traveller information services. But there is still work to do to support widespread deployment.
Example keywords:
- changes to the workforce, jobs and society
- new business models
- required changes to infrastructure
- system engineering and architecture
- simulation & modelling
- pilots, trials and tests
- autonomous public transport
- platooning
- human-machine interface
- user acceptance
- Internet of Things
- safety gains
- cross-border services
- connectivity
- maps, mapping and geolocation
- impact, cost-benefit and risk assessment
