The world of transport is changing. Focus is shifting towards new, more efficient and cleaner modes and models of travel. Big Data has the potential to make mobility more integrated, connected, responsive and personal. These changes will revolutionise the ways that we move people and goods. Emerging transport technologies include zero emission vehicles (battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell), driverless vehicles, drones and seamless personal Mobility as a Service or Demand Responsive Transport.
These changes in transport technology and systems will not just impact the transport sector. The effects will be far-reaching, touching a range of areas from energy, real estate and infrastructure, to construction, data protection, cyber security, insurance and retail.
