SYMPOSIUM ON URBAN MOBILITY CHALLENGES - SEVENTH EDITION

MOBILITY RECOVERY AFTER COVID-19

COVID-19 has dramatically disrupted mobility. Lockdowns were enforced all over the world, together with face-to-face limitations and social restrictions. After acceptable vaccination levels, Europeans, Americans and the rest of the world are trying to go back to normal. Mobility is increasing again, although it has not reached pre-covid levels yet. Most importantly, travel behavior has changed radically.

Data can play a crucial role in these recovery times. If research institutions know how people move, when and for what reason, then this knowledge can be used to optimize the system, while deploying new business models. The first round table tackles the latest innovations on data in mobility and its potential in current times.

Simultaneously, innovative solutions can be brought to the market to attain more sustainable urban mobility for our citizens. The use of technology has led to new mobility schemes: ride-hailing, vehicle sharing strategies and other optimized mobility options are changing the way we move, also in the public transport arena. The second round table is about demand-responsive transit.

Finally, urban air mobility can play an important role in recovery. Use cases are already emerging, mostly for freight. Urban air mobility is going to be tackled with a panel of high-level experts who will talk about the future of air mobility.
