MaaS: A Further Year in... ETC 2018 Special Stream Announced

Special Stream Announced - MaaS: A Further Year in...

The Intelligent Mobility, Management and Operations (IMMO) and Global Trends impacting Transport (GTiT) committees provide a home for research and practitioners dealing with issues at the leading edge of Intelligent Mobility and Global Trends.

MaaS, or Mobility as a Service, has the potential to play an increasing role in dealing with everyday mobility and the consequences it has on accessibility, safety and liveability.

With MaaS cutting across several of our programme committees, for the second year running we are pleased to announce we are dedicating a whole stream to this emerging subject that will span a whole day of the conference.

Join us for this year's programme at ETC 2018 which includes:

MaaS in Dublin: challenges and opportunities
Motion Hub, the implementation of an integrated end‐to‐end journey planner
Mobility for liveable cities: investigating the determinants of commuters' choices

What to expect from the most established transport conference in Europe...

The conference attracts transport practitioners and researchers from all over Europe providing access to in-depth presentations on policy issues, best practice and research findings across the broad spectrum of transport.ETC is a mix of plenary sessions, debates and workshop sessions. Each day, there will be a minimum of 9 concurrent streams, in sessions of 1.5 or 2 hours.

Each session comprises between three and four papers presented in a themed seminar. The chair of each session ensures that there is ample time for discussion of papers and questions.

This year, feature sessions include:
