Session #8 - Imagining and Creating the Smart Urban Reality of Tomorrow
15:15 - 16:00
Smart mobility solutions have the potential to transform urban and rural communities and create safer, more sustainable, equitable and connected transportation for all citizens. To realize this vision, municipalities must understand the role of infrastructure to support the safe and secure adoption of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and other intelligent mobility solutions. This panel will bring together OEMs, Area X.O and senior urban planning leaders to discuss:
Big picture smart mobility opportunities and challenges facing municipalities today and tomorrow
Promising smart mobility solutions, case studies and learnings
New approaches that are helping cities prepare for future smart mobility operating environments
Partnership development models with MaaS operators that facilitate a diverse menu of transportation options to address evolving customer needs and requests, whether public transport, ride-, car- or bike-sharing, taxi or car rental/lease, or some combination thereof
The creation of new regulatory frameworks and infrastructure that enable innovation and increase safety
