FCAI INDUSTRY & SOCIETY WEBINAR

AI for Sustainability – Smart Mobility

May 21, 2021, 13:00 – 15:00 (EEST, UTC +3)
Online, Zoom

 Mobility systems are key enablers of human activity and wellbeing – they connect people with places. However, transport is one of the most polluting sectors in the world and a major contributor to CO2 emissions, and in addition, not equally accessible to all. How could we become more sustainable in the way we move? This open webinar deals with the interesting topic of sustainability in smart city development and smart mobility, and the roles of artificial intelligence and data-analytics in enhancing greener mobility. Invited speakers will provide their views on the possibilities and challenges of sustainable mobility in cities, and the audience can submit questions for them and for the panel discussion during the presentations.
