The European Commission, together with the 4FRONT cluster of European funded projects (ORCHESTRA, TANGENT, DIT4TRAM, FRONTIER) and the HARMONY project, will examine the future of network and traffic management, and the ways it will shape cities. The session will explore how to tackle new technological, societal, operational, business and governance challenges and opportunities. The projects will jointly present further topics including System engineering architecture, Resilience, Trustworthiness, Data sharing, Governance, User behaviour and acceptance, multimodality, upscaling etc. to implement the network and traffic management of the future.

Across Europe, there are many EV charging incentives provided to citizens to boost the uptake of electric mobility. The deployment of a network of publicly accessible charging points for electric vehicles, must also keep pace with these developments without becoming a barrier. The availability of an appropriate infrastructure is an important step, but a key objective is to make electric vehicle charging easy to use. During this session, a series of successful tools and solutions will be showcased, focusing on user-centric EV charging solutions (eCharge4Drivers, USER-CHI, INCIT-EV) and smart charging (SCALE).

Transport is a topic of high interest around the world. From huge societal challenges such as its climate impact, inclusiveness or being the prerequisite for commerce to the individual mobility needs and preferences of each individuum, transport is omnipresent. While results and progress of transport research is widely shared among the research community, it seems like a lot of knowledge is lost when communicated to stakeholders, notably decision-makers, and to the public. In this session, reasons for this issue shall be discussed as well as possible strategies to improve the presentation and communication of results beyond the research community in view to increase the impacts of science and research results.

This session aims to underline the mobility issues in the rural regions of the European Union. Many of the faced rural mobility issues and challenges are global. In rural areas, limited mobility and accessibility options dictate the everyday lives of rural area Europeans. The session involves relevant European projects (e.g. AURORAL) as well as speakers from the European Commission, regional representatives, and outside Europe. The results and outcomes of the session, that comprises keynote presentations and a short panel, will be reported by AURORAL project in the form of session report.
