eCoBus workshop ‘Next Generation Transportation Systems’

In occasion of the PhD defense of Georgios Laskaris, a dissemination workshop with more than 30 attendees was organized in Maison de Savoir on 12^th July 2019, taking advantage of the presence of 4 international speakers (Ricardo Giesen, Pontifica Universidad Catolica de Chile; Oded Cats, TU Delft; Erik Jenelius, KTH; and Marialisa Nigro from the University of Roma Tre). The topic of the workshop was ‘Next Generation Transportation Systems: Smart, Autonomous, Multimodal, Connected, Electrified’. The four presentations covered hot topics like automated public transport systems, advanced control, electrical shared vehicles and design of multimodal transport services. In addition to the above four speakers, dr. Marco Rinaldi from MobiLab and dr. Imen Mahjri from LIST presented the main outcomes of working packages 2 (interaction electrical and public transport systems) and 4 (large scale simulation) of eCoBus (while WP3 on Operational optimization and real time control using C-ITS was mainly covered by the PhD defense of dr. Laskaris).
