Mobility and the Continued Importance of Efficiency
Abstract:
The transportation industry is experiencing an inflection point for new automotive technology, connected and automated vehicles, mobility service companies, and electrification. Simultaneously, societal expectations are evolving for urbanization growth and an on-demand service economy. Efficiency and optimization opportunities exist at multiple levels in the value chain of mobility and can yield tangible benefits to the consumer.
The presentation will provide external drivers that are encouraging the shift from a transportation-centric focus to mobility, and highlight research examples that demonstrate the need to remain centered on efficiency at various scales of technologies, systems and services.
