Smart Mobility in Smart Cities

Presented By: Sara Paiva, Christos Zaroliagis, Sergio M. Savarsi

One of the key areas addressed in this webinar is personal mobility, with a focus on the vehicles currently used as well as what will be the trend for the coming years. The topic of electric cars, energy sources, comparative analysis of costs with current fuels, battery life, charging options and distribution of electricity production worldwide are addressed. A parallel is also made of how these cars will form the basis for self-driving cars and how we will get from the current (almost) L3 level to the L5 level of autonomous driving.

Sergio M. Savarsi will provide a general view on the main expected trends of personal mobility (with a focus on urban areas) in the next decades. Starting from the “megatrends”, he will focus on the interconnections and self-catalyzing effects of the automation-electrification-servitization trends. A glimpse on bifurcations of vehicle features and virtualization of the mobility will close this section.

Christos Zaroliagis will address key aspects in developing intelligent mobility applications to address personalized mobility challenges. Core applications will be considered, including multimodal route planning, tourist tour planning, vehicle sharing and smart parking solutions. Finally, key features of how today’s mobility can be incorporated, and how data can be efficiently updated in case of emergencies or unforeseen events.
