Synopsis

Urban mobility is changing quickly due to the convergence of key technologies and social altitudes. The four paradigms - “Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared” - are set to transform the industry and the built environment globally. Hong Kong has also set ambitious goals on Smart City with a strong focus on smart mobility. This seminar will provide participants with an overview of the fast-moving trends that could shape urban mobility and outline their impacts on Hong Kong. It will discuss the considerations on preparing Hong Kong for a new era of user-focused mobility in response to the emerging trends.  It will also share case studies of recent design and deployments in intelligent mobility (IM) solutions.
