BETTER DATA FOR BETTER MOBILITY

22 July 2021

The volume and speed at which data is generated, processed and stored today is unprecedented. It will fundamentally alter the transport sector. The fusion of data originating from connected cars, sensors, crowd-sourcing and other channels gives access to new knowledge about transport activity and flows. It also creates certain risks concerning consumer privacy and use of personal data. More than ever before, European cities are rethinking the way in which real time transport data is collected and analysed. In parallel, the volume of data produced and owned by private sector operators has increased exponentially, resulting in a growing attention to open data policies and public-private partnership models to improve the use of transport-related data. 

To analyse these trends, the eForum will gather government representatives, industry players, mobility experts, and innovative entrepreneurs to discuss how to leverage data and unleash the potential of connectivity. The eForum will bring perspectives from cities and organisations working on urban matters. It will also explain challenges and opportunities faced by day-to-day mobility users, represented by FIA Mobility Clubs.
