Constant increase in traffic congestion for urban areas and the cost of expanding infrastructure as well as lack of space in the last couple of decades, have increased congestion and pollution in cities. Transport planners seek to find solutions to use the current infrastructure more efficiently.
Recent technology developments in Information and Communication Technology have provided a feasible platform to manage more effective resolutions for urban transportation systems. In this workshop, our invited speakers will talk about these advancements that make mobility services more efficient.

Abstracts
New shared and autonomous mobility services: from simulation to deployment
Mobility services based on shared autonomous electrical vehicles promise to make transportation cheaper, safer, and faster, with fewer vehicles moving more people more efficiently. While much of the hype surrounding new mobility services is focused on autonomous vehicles, less attention is paid to challenge of how to turn these vehicles into value-added services that will enable the vehicles to work together as efficient fleets that can receive instructions, pick up travelers, and get them to their destinations at the right time.
At Bestmile, we have developed the first mobility services platform that allows to easily provision, manage and optimize a wide range of new mobility services, covering autonomous shuttle, robotaxi, ride-sharing and micro-transit services. In this talk will show how this platform works and how it can be used to perform realistic simulations in the service design phase prior to deployment.
Harvesting mobility data for passenger-oriented and more flexible operations
Public transport systems have been long dominated by supply-driven design and operations. The increasing availability of fleet management capabilities, passenger demand data and the trend towards introducing on-demand services, call for the development of more flexible operations that can better cater for the prevailing passenger flows. To this end, it is essential to perform network-wide state estimation of passenger flows and infer passenger travel patterns.
Moreover, underlying determinants of travel choices can be then identified. In the talk, studies where these have been performed for fixed and flexible passenger services and then used as input for decisions ranging from network design, fleet dimensioning, capacity allocation and real-time control will be presented.
