Fast Lane to Smart Transportation
From insightful virtual keynotes and engaging panel discussions with entrepreneurs, government and academia, we can bolster progress for the future of connected and autonomous goods movement.
Keynote: Smart Goods Mobility - Enablers and Opportunities
A future with Smart Mobility is on the horizon. Smart Mobility involves the movement of people and goods through the application of technology, data and data analytics in a manner that balances safety, efficiency, comfort, sustainability, ability, inclusion, equity and cost-effectiveness. Machine learning, data analytics, digital twins and the Canadian ITS architecture are a few of the enablers for this future vision that includes automated and connected vehicles. There are opportunities at all stages of the supply chain from inbound transportation to last mile delivery that will be explored.
