What does A Digital Era for Transport means to you?

Smart devices, intermodal routing services, real time data, e-mobility, sharing concepts and mobility as a service open up entirely new possibilities for traffic operators, service providers and daily transport users. Public authorities must control and manage traffic in new ways. New forms of cooperation among public, scientific and commercial actors will be necessary.
