Planning for Autonomous Mobility
4 November – 2 December 2021
The rapid growth of new technologies, on the one hand, and increase of demand in safe, clean, comfortable, efficient, and sustainable transportation, on the other hand, stimulated the advancement of autonomy and full automation in the transport sector. It became an impetus for the development of autonomous vehicles. The created niche in the transport sector brought new challenges as well as opportunities that need to be adequately addressed and embraced.
This training – Planning for Autonomous Mobility – is designed to tackle key aspects of autonomous mobility as a means to respond to new transport demands and to deliver value to society and businesses. More specifically, the training will equip the participants with knowledge on all relevant features of the autonomous mobility ecosystem, including urban landscape impact, long-distance travel, logistics, economy, etc., and provide them with the tools that will help them solve future challenges that autonomous vehicles will convey.
This course is open to everyone, professional or not, with interest in the mobility sector, willing to deepen their knowledge, skills, and abilities to enhance their technical, business and professional competencies in autonomous mobility.

Module 2: The long-term vision
Session 2: The new urban landscape
9 November - 15:00h - 17:00h CET
Speakers: Bern Grush (Founder & CIO, Harmonize Mobility), Paul Spears (NEOM)
Introduction: This session will help participants understand how the introduction and complete deployment of driverless vehicles will impact in mobility needs of society in several contexts more than just the way we “drive”. It will also cover how different mobility aspects will be impacted, including: parcel delivery (with an expected radical change), the vehicles ownership (vs shared models), and others (social, technical, digital or jobs contexts).

Speakers: Gummada Murthy, PHD PE (Program Director, Operations, Safety and Mobility Division AASHTO), Tom Kern (Advisor, AASHTO)
Introduction: This session will provide an analysis of the impact of autonomous technology on long-distance trips (either for pleasure or for job purposes) and its logistics, since new infrastructures will need to be developed and implemented on the existing highways.
Session 4: The economics of AVs and the New Workforce
16 November - 15:00h - 17:00h CET
Speakers: Prof. Andreas Herrmann (Director Institute For Mobility, St. Gallen University), Clement Aubourg (Head Of Autonomous Vehicles, New Mobility Services, Keolis Group)
Introduction: This session will offer an overview regarding the impact of autonomous vehicles on an economic framework: from the expected price increase in a vehicle ownership and, its consequences (potential subsidies, sharing models being stimulated) to the role of this technology in the efficiency increase in the usage of vehicles, for multiple and complementary tasks (move people and parcels). It will also discuss the challenges of autonomous mobility with regards to the new skills and the workforce.
Session 5: Infrastructure management
18 November - 15:00h - 17:00h CET
Speakers: Bern Grush (Founder & CIO, Harmonize Mobility), Laura Coconea (Innovation Office Manager - ITS Division, SWARCO), Rik Nuyttens (European Regulatory Affairs Manager, 3M Transportation Safety Division)
Introduction: Analyze how the rise of autonomous mobility will impact on the curbside and sidewalks and improve management tools will be needed: as pick-ups and drop-offs from ride hailing services (robo-taxis) increase and, goods movement and last-mile delivery (in sidewalks) grow, cities will need to be prepared for a smooth transition. Understand how road and traffic management must address the challenges posed by autonomous mobility.

Introduction: One of the main challenges for the implementation of autonomous vehicles is to transform the current local, regional, country, and global regulation to have room for them. Aspects such as product liability, responsibility in case of accident, safety assurance, regulation on post-sales software changes, how to take action to control the vehicle or data collection, are some of the things laid on the public bodies table that will be analyzed in this session. How to build public trust and acceptance are some of the challenges that Autonomous Mobility will face in the years to come and will be discussed in the round table.
