Last Mile Mobility – Current and Future Concepts and Applications

CIHT Online seminar- Last Mile Mobility – Current and Future Concepts and Applications Date and Time: 18th January 2021: 18:00 – 19:00 UAE About this event The transport sector has been subject to a spate of innovations in recent years; from disruptive technologies such as ride-hailing apps revolutionizing the taxi industry to the introduction of new modes such as e-scooters and autonomous shuttles. However, despite an increasing abundance of choice, better access to travel information, and customer-focused propositions, the movement of people and goods in urban areas is still dominated by motor vehicles powered by fossil fuels leading to traffic, congestion, severance, poor air quality, and significant carbon emissions. Last-mile mobility considers the transport of goods or people over short distances to complete end-to-end journeys or provide a modal connection to or from an origin or destination. The availability and efficiency of last-mile mobility solutions and their integration with the wider transport system have the potential to play an important role in travel mode choices, and subsequently on the efficiency and sustainability of the overall mobility ecosystem whether for passengers or freight.
