We live in turbulent times. Digitalisation in particular is driving new mobility concepts. Traffic and mobility data are becoming the raw material for automated and connected driving as well as other future solutions.
This can reduce emissions and immissions and fulfil individual mobility needs by creating simple, fast and affordable mobility options, as well as increasing efficiency through seamless, convenient and comprehensive traffic flows for people and goods.
Autonomous mobility is an important component of a multimodal, intelligent and sustainable transport system. Intelligent transport systems encompass all applications that make transport safer and more efficient by using state-of-the-art IT technology.
These include, for example, driver assistance systems, car-to-car communication, information and payment systems on smartphones for public transport, etc. The use of this technology is changing mobility and is indispensable for dealing with the growing challenges of urbanisation, globalisation and demographic change.
