Transportation in the Age of Digitalisation

Welcome to the Chalmers Transport Area of Advance initiative seminar on 26 September.

Digitalisation offers new opportunities to deliver the next generation of sustainable, safe and efficient transport. But increased personal travel and rising demands for goods together with even higher requirements with regards to environment, safety and competence leads to new complexities.
What challenges will the transport industry and society face? What expectations will users have and what type of solutions will be adopted? What risks can we foresee in a future that will increasingly rely on connected vehicles and shared data?
These, and many other aspects of tomorrow’s transportation systems will be presented from different perspectives at the initiative seminar “Transportation in the Age of Digitalisation” on 26th September.

The Transport Area of Advance welcomes you to a full day of discussions about future challenges.

Location: RunAn, conference hall, Chalmersplatsen 1, Gothenburg
