Mobility Talks episode 10 - Intermodality: How to move towards seamless integration?
2021-07-08 15:30 - 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
Main Question: How can we move towards seamless integration?
Intermodality aims to drive the better use of existing mobility services whilst facilitating the integration of new solutions, new mobility modes and promote new business models. It includes increasing the interconnectivity and accessibility of, and between, mobility modes and networked hubs. Clearly, there is a huge importance of Intermodality and so the question that comes about is “How can we work towards seamless integration?”
Throughout this dynamic Mobility Talk, we will discuss the barriers to intermodality currently existing, and which have already been overcome. Furthermore, questions will be raised to the audience leading to open discussions about intermodality and how projects have the potential to help boost this goal of seamless integration under different settings.

Speakers will be:

Ferdinand Burgersdijk, Independent consultant at FRCB and Maas Councillor for the Benelux
Tu-Tho Thai – Director, Partnerships Europe & Events – MobilityData
Josep Maria Salanova Grau, Research Associate, Head of the Data analysis and modelling laboratory
Stephan van Dijk PhD
Oktay Türetken, Associate Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)

Autonomy Digital 2.0
2021-05-20 18:10 - 19:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
Panel at Autonomy Digital 2.0: Rediscovering “new” mobility modes post Covid-19 and how they shape the cities
Panelists

Erdem Ovacik, Donkey Republic, Co-founder & CEO
Miryad Ali, French National Access Point (transport.data.gouv.fr), Open Data Manager
Pierre Carbonne, enRoute, Head of Marketing
Scott Shepard, Iomob, VP Global Public Sector
Tu-Tho Thai, MobilityData, Director, Partnerships Europe & Events

Panel details
The pandemic of Covid-19 had a large impact on mobility. For some cities, it came with a surge in biking and pop-up bike lanes, creating a sudden surge in the demand for “new” mobility modes. Looking forward, this will shape our new cities and mobility durably. Our panelists will discuss:

New mobility modes and their meaning
The pandemic put more people on bikes, scooters, and other new modes. While some cities created pop-up bike lanes, operators are looking into making these new habits sustainable in the long run. What does it imply from the operators’ viewpoint?
How cities are going back to initial urban planning strategies
With social distancing rules, most people have rediscovered their neighborhood. The 15-minutes city became a reality for most of them and their travels are getting shorter, closer. Some are saying it is how cities are supposed to be designed from now on, but were they not initial urban planning strategies?
The need for discoverability
New modes, new journeys, new traveling habits: if anything it underlines the importance of making transportation options discoverable to all travelers. For more sustainable operations, vibrant cities, and an active population, one needs to know, understand, and plan seamlessly one’s journey balancing one’s needs with one’s impact.
Interoperability and its importance
To make mobility options discoverable across platforms, apps, and others, there is the need for interoperability between the systems and the languages used. What are the different challenges of interoperability? How to map the different standards and make sure we move forwards? How to support operators to navigate these questions?
Multimodality and governance: challenges & opportunities
To support the development of multimodality, the change of cities towards a greener and more sustainable approach of urban planning, there is the need to have stronger governance. What can public authorities do to support the industry?

English Training Day
2021-05-04 12:00 - 17:30 (America/Halifax)
