Topic:

Mastria: Transforming City-Wide Multimodal Transport

Growing population and globalization both have consequences in terms of mobility within major urban areas. Because of the increasing development of passenger flows, the need to address mobility needs and their implications on transport networks is getting stronger than ever. Carl Buck will explain how Alstom’s Mastria multimodal traffic orchestrator helps city authorities achieve greater fluidity and capacity from their different transport services, predicting and adapting to passengers’ flow variations, and responding to network incidents in realtime.
