Track: Connected Transportation

With roads being more and more congested, intelligent transport systems are key in providing sustainable transport solutions for transport. Combining datas sources opens new opportunities for re-thinking how mobility is being organized. In this session, we present the Mobilidata project, a large scale deployment project supported by the Flemish government and imec. By combining sensing and data analysis, Mobilidata creates innovative traffic solutions that help make traffic flow more smoothly, more sustainably and more safely for every road user.

The UK Government will set out their vision and next steps to enabling a Cyber-Physical Infrastructure - the collective capability that increasingly interconnected cyber-physical systems including Digital Twins, IoT, AR/VR, and Robotics & Autonomous Systems, powered by AI, HPC and advance networks will realise. Their work builds upon the findings of a government consultation during 2022 and will highlight UK Government's priority areas for public and private collaboration and co-creation in realising the innovation and resilience benefits of these increasingly federated systems.

This session explores how the future of space will be advanced with Orbital Reef, a commercially developed, owned, and operated space station to be built in low Earth orbit. Led by principal partners Blue Origin and Sierra Space, Orbital Reef will open the next chapter of human space exploration and development by facilitating the growth of a vibrant ecosystem and business model for the future. Designed to open multiple new markets in space, Orbital Reef will provide anyone with the opportunity to establish their own address in orbit. See how this unique destination will offer research, industrial, international, and commercial customers the cost-competitive end-to-end services they need including space transportation and logistics, space habitation, equipment accommodation, onboard crew support, and ground operations.

Join our discussion with leading providers of technology and solutions for transportation and logistics customers. The panelists will discuss solutions that are being delivered today that improve the operational efficiency in shipping and the movement of goods, services, and passengers. Topics will include communications, micromobility, and how technology advancement can improve the customer experience as well as reduce our carbon footprint.

In order to meet the sustainable target and handle the global energy crisis, our customer has been struggling in optimisation of power generation and energy consumption & storage in a vessel by utilising different digital solutions from different vendors for their Engines, Propulsions systems, vessel automation systems, Voyage systems, etc. Wärtsila utilize Edge computing and Machine Learning technology to provide an integrated system to break the silos in individual equipment optimisation, reaching the real time vessel level energy optimisation.

How a federated digital twin ecosystem was used to solve a complex sustainability problem in maritime involving heterogenous data and diverse ownership. Each of the five participants was able to pursue their own selfish agendas whilst contributing to the collective goal of de-carbonising the maritime traffic using hydrogen. The outcomes were mainly in the research of the feasibility of generating enough electricity and hydrogen to (partially) power a specially adapted diesel engine, but there were concrete improvements to the air quality and operations of the port as well.

Software-defined mobility represents a new era of connected intelligent transportation platforms leveraging multiple ecosystems and significant revenue by the middle of this decade. Digital twins, 5G, and Edge will accelerate innovation and collaboration. Our panel of industry experts will explore the challenges and opportunities that will define this future-forward intelligent transportation and connected mobility ecosystem, underlying technology requirements, fundamental changes to data and autonomy platforms, functional safety, and sustainable benefits.

Amid 2020’s supply-chain disruptions—clogged ports, limited flights, and sick and quarantined workers—Danish logistics company Maersk, still managed to ship almost 13 million containers filled with PPE, exercise equipment, work-from-home essentials, and more. DISCOVER MORE The company is on a transformational journey to transform itself into an end-to-end integrator of container logistics while carrying a fifth of the world’s trade through its network of ships, terminals & warehouses. Explore how IoT is enabling end-to-end visibility in the supply chain industry.

Autonomous vehicles have the potential to radically change mobility in cities, but evidence shows that without trust public acceptance is unlikely. This session explores innovative consumer engagement and service design with members of the public to build trust and co-design autonomous vehicle services through physical trials and an innovative immersive virtual reality program to engage schools. This solution is designed to improve public trust and support technology deployment to support the delivery of city sustainability goals.

For the intelligent edge to reach its full potential, solution providers will need to deliver AI, IoT, computer vision, robots, and connectivity services - at scale. From farms to airports, these solutions must be tailored to specific customer requirements and desired outcomes - including sustainability. This requires a paradigm shift in the way we trade and deliver solutions. A collaboration of Digital Twin Consortium, TM Forum, and Airport Council International member organizations aligned concept, capability, and event models to simplify the delivering of complex multi-party services.

By its nature, IoT opens up a number of security concerns because we’re now connecting real-world “things” to a network. In this session, Pat Wilbur, CTO of Hologram, will discuss some of the security challenges caused by connectivity, then shift gears to focus on the opportunities and innovations in security that IoT enables. He’ll be joined by Zach Diebold, Lead Software Architect of Cowboy, to share how Cowboy has harnessed connectivity to bring better safety and security for their bikes and riders.

By 2030, it’s projected that 100 percent of new vehicles sold will ship with connectivity platforms. In this session, learn about how OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, fleet telematics solution providers, and automotive ISVs build and deploy systems that securely connect vehicle fleets to the cloud, the newest capabilities for the industry, and best practices for connected vehicle platforms.
