TUCTE 18 – Enabling seamless and sustainable mobility for all
13th November 2018, 9.30 – 16.30
Blue Point Venues
Global socio-economic and environmental megatrends are posing new challenges and making new demands on transport in Europe. This paradigm shift in mobility and transport calls for disruptive technologies and multimodal solutions.
Mobility4EU established a Vision and Action plan for the future of transport in Europe in 2030 based on the identification and assessment of societal challenges that will influence future transport demand.
The Mobility4EU interactive Stakeholder FORUM has been launched to put user-centric approaches, cross-modal cooperation and projects joining transport of passenger and freight in action.

This event has been an occasion to show the results of the Mobility4EU project with focus on the Vision and Action Plan for user-centric and cross-modal transport in Europe in 2030. The discussions and topics that the European Transport and Mobility Forum will continue to work on beyond the project were introduced. Interactive formats were used to gather final feedback for the action plan and invite all participants to engage in exploring and discussing pathways towards user-centric transport offers and the building of an integrated transport system.
We hereby thank all the conference participants, who helped us advance further towards these goals.

11:00 – 12:45 – Morning Session – Implementation Actions for the Future of Mobility in Europe
moderated by Marcia Urban, Bauhaus Luftfahrt and Gereon Meyer, VDI/VDE-IT
Moderated by Marcia Urban, Bauhaus Luftfahrt and Gereon Meyer, VDI/VDE-IT, the session with the title “Implementation Actions for the Future of Mobility in Europe”. They organised a market place on the action plan developed in the project. In fact, within Mobility4EU, an Action Plan towards a user-centred, seamless and sustainable European transport system in 2030 has been created in an interactive process together with a broad stakeholder base. Major aspects of all six roadmaps from the Action Plan have been presented in preparation for a market place where the participants could discuss the implementation of specific action items.
Participants discussed around 6 main areas:
(1) Low-/Zero-Emission Mobility
(2) Automation and Connected Driving
(3) Safety and (Cyber-)Security in Transport
(4) Mobility Planning
(5) Cross-modal/intermodal PT and Transport Solutions
(6) Inclusion: Putting the User in the Centre

Major aspects of all six roadmaps from the Action Plan will be presented in preparation for a market place where the participants can discuss the implementation of specific action items. There is also the chance to comment on the action plan itself. The session targets to prioritise especially short-term action items and to initiate a mind-set of getting started with the implementation of the Action Plan.
14:30 – 16:00 Afternoon Session – Collaborations for future mobility
SESSION A – Getting citizens on board: co-creating our future mobility system
moderated by Imre Keserü,VUB-MOBI
This session discussed practical tools and methods to engage citizens in planning their future mobility systems. We looked at how technology can be used to engage people in data collection (citizen observatories and smart surveys) and co-design of solutions to their problems. Jordi Martin from the Barcelona Metropolitan Transport Authority (ATM Barcelona) demonstrated their participatory GIS planning tool. Imre Keseru showed results and tools from the FLAMENCO (Flanders Enacted Mobile Laboratories) and the LOOPER (Learning Loops in the Public Realm) projects to demonstrate how to facilitate the involvement of users in planning mobility systems. Floridea di Ciommo (CambiaMO, Madrid) talked about the importance of consensus making and face-to-face discussions even in the age of the abundance of online tools.
Session B – Involving users in the development of tomorrow’s mobility
moderated by Erszebet Földesi, Budapest Association of Persons with Physical Disabilities and Gereon Meyer, VDI/VDE-IT
The session brought together researchers and developers involved in the design of vehicles and mobility services and representatives of user organizations. Participants discussed benefits of a user-centered approach in the development of tomorrow’s mobility, exchange best practices but also examined barriers and opportunities to overcome them. Finally, how the future European Transport and Mobility Forum can be utilized for implementing this collaboration was explored. The session was opened by impulse talks from Erszebet Földesi, MBE and Matteo Mussini, CER followed by a discussion of panelists and the audience.
Session C – Viable business for seamless transport: how to make profit for all
moderated by Thierry Coosemans,VUB-MOBI;
In an ideal scenario, the future transport system will allow each and every citizen to travel seamlessly and easily from any place in Europe to another in a reasonable timespan, and by making use of multiple transport modes (active mobility, road, air, rail, water). Citizens would book one single ticket valid for all segments, though operated by different subjects. In order to achieve such a system, all stakeholders involved in transport cooperate closely to build a mobility value chain in which each party has a reasonable share. A new legal framework has to be established, collaboration has to be fostered, and the necessary technologies supporting this collaboration have to be developed and rolled out. This workshop handled these challenges around three themes:
- Interaction among modes to enable seamless multimodal mobility
- Business models for seamless multimodal mobility
- Technology developments for seamless multimodal mobility

PRESENTATIONS
POSTERS
A call for posters was issued two months before the conference to invite participants to submit their posters for being exhibited during the conference. The consortium of Mobility4EU project gladly offered exhibition and dissemination opportunity to mobility related projects during TUCTE 18 as it intends to widen the dialogue and enable knowledge transfer.

Participants
84 people among partners’ members and invited experts from different mobility fields were involved in the activities of the workshop, representing the various stakeholders’ groups.
