Mobility

Track

Mobility is a key issue in Europe and the Netherlands for many different reasons. For example, logistics and transport are major economic sectors, which means that traffic congestion, traffic security and the related economic and environmental issues are the subject of a great deal of public and political attention. ICT applications such as proactive traffic management, satellite navigation and road pricing can have a significant impact.
 

Smart Mobility stands for innovative and much-needed alternative mobility solutions. More people will live in less space and, as a result, increasing traffic congestion will affect the free movement of goods and people. No wonder, Smart Mobility will be one of the most important topics to be discussed at WCIT 2010. The Netherlands have the most crowded rivers, railways and roads in the world, and are already dealing with mobility-related issues that other countries will be confronted with within the next decade. During WCIT 2010, 'Living lab' the Netherlands will introduce IT applications that will enable Smart Mobility.
