ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

In the first of our Top trends at ITS European Congress 2019 webinar series, our expert speakers discussed safety and efficiency projects such as 5G-MOBIX which leverages 5G in support of Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) and C-MobILE which accelerates the large scale deployment of multimodal cooperative ITS (C-ITS) in eight European cities and regions.

These projects can result in streamlined mobility solutions and a better transport experience for users, with better-managed traffic flows, and access to a wide range of innovative transport services, from automated buses and commuter services to automated valet services for the elderly – the possibilities are endless.

Other discussions were based on logistics and platooning. Speakers delved into ERTICO’s AEOLIX project which leverages digital technologies to improve efficiency and to contribute to transport and logistics digitalisation of goods supply chains in Europe. As well as ENSEMBLE, an H2020 project using ITS-G5 technologies, that is paving the way for the adoption of multi-brand truck platooning, to assist drivers and improve traffic safety.

KEY LEARNING POINTS:

• Safety and Efficiency gains
• Empowering the user
• The changing face of logistics

Given the critical importance of mobility and logistics services to our social and economic lives, technologies and solutions that increase the efficiency of these services can have a major societal impact. These inspiring technologies and solutions are the focus of a large number of European R&D and innovation projects, many of which will be showcased at the ITS European Congress in Brainport Eindhoven, the Netherlands, on 3-6 June, 2019.
