This document summarizes key topics from the ITS World Congress on enabling seamless mobility. Mega trends like urbanization, climate change, and new technologies are changing urban mobility and putting pressure on transportation networks. This is creating trends like congestion, demand for new infrastructure, and changing consumer habits. Smart cities aim to address these challenges through approaches like smart mobility, energy, and data integration. The document discusses how intelligent mobility (iM) can focus on user needs through new forms of public-private collaboration, thinking differently about challenges, and using digital disruption and experimentation to develop solutions. A panel discussion at the conference will explore case studies on challenges and opportunities for seamless mobility in North America.

›All stakeholders involved are clear on the direction of travel and how
decisions contribute to better outcomes for the end-user and consumer.
6. iM is our response to smart cities.
A new way of thinking about how to
use technology and data to connect
people, places, goods, and services
and to reimagine infrastructure and
enable urban mobility.
It is about the user, their needs and
new innovative types of collaboration.

8. New and old collaborations
8
› Smart cities are be based on the values
and needs of its citizens.
› It will us to think differently, harness the
power of a broader team and undertake
rapid digital experiments.
› It will need very different public and
private sector collaboration with the
user at the heart.
Thinking differently
Harnessing the power
of the team
Digital disruption
9. Thinking differently
9
› Boulder Highway in Southern
Nevada suffers from 10% of all
accidents in the region
› Walking the talk and getting under
the skin of the real pain points
› Bringing design thinking and
engineering together to create user-
focused intelligent mobility solutions
Add Boulder Highway video
10. Harnessing the power of a team
10
› CAD/AVL system, real-time passenger
information and Transit Signal Priority (TSP)
systems deployment
› Immediate benefits: Stakeholders offering the
best transit performance possible to citizens
› Integrated project team: Importance of
collaboration (public & private sectors) in
guiding the design and developing solutions
that meet the operator’s and the stakeholders’
expectations
13. Continuing the conversation
13
How to remove barriers to mobility and better connect people, goods,
and services?
As an industry, how do we collaborate and think differently?
