Upcoming webinar
Ensuring Mobility in Turbulent Times
FREE Webinar: Thursday, 7 November 2024
11.00 - 12.00 CEST / 10.00 - 11.00 BST
In an era of unprecedented global challenges and disruptions, ensuring mobility remains a critical priority for societies worldwide. Drawing from multidisciplinary perspectives, this webinar explores strategies, innovations, and policy frameworks aimed at fostering resilient and inclusive mobility systems amidst turbulent times. The speakers will focus on the following challenges facing contemporary transportation systems:
- Technological disruptions (e.g., autonomous vehicles (AVs), AI, urban air mobility (UAM))
- Geopolitical tensions (e.g., the Russia-Ukraine conflict)
- Climate change, including extreme weather events that damage transport infrastructure
- Pandemics and health threats that lead to material shortages and disrupt businesses
- The rising threat of cyberattacks on transportation systems
The webinar seeks actionable solutions to enhance the adaptability, accessibility, and sustainability of mobility in an increasingly turbulent world. It serves as a platform for policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and stakeholders to exchange knowledge and chart a course towards resilient and equitable mobility solutions that are fit for the challenges of the 21st century.
AET Transport and Mobility Forum webinars are free and are hosted on the Zoom platform.

Derek HaldenDHC Loop Connections United Kingdom
|
Derek Halden (UK) specialises in planning accessibility and connections to enable joint planning of the factors that drive travel demand together with transport supply. The global pandemic has changed people, places and transport making accessibility planning even more important than prior to the pandemic. I am working with AET to help develop the debate about these new challenges and responses, taking transport planning beyond traditional boundaries to further develop accessibility and connectivity planning. |  |

James Odeck (NO) is a professor of transport economics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Trondheim) and a senior research economist at the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA). He specializes in applied transport economics and efficiency & productivity measurements. His research in transportation covers impact assessment and benefits cost analyses, monetary valuation of impacts, ex-post studies and cost overruns, and elasticity of transport demand. Odeck has published widely in re-known transportation journals such as Transportation Research Part A, Transportation, Transport policy, and Transport Reviews. The transportation sector is one of the public sectors with ongoing new developments, e.g., digitalization, automation, and a shift from fossil fuel to renewable energy. I am happy to work with AET to develop a platform for debating these new developments and other emerging transportation issues. Hopefully, the Webinar series will help AET take the leading role in transport debates internationally. |
