GITMob meeting no. 4

This session took place on 28 February 2019 at room L202A of Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (FEUP). The topic of the session was Mobility and Innovation Systems – Ambient Mobility Fleet, presented by Marco Amorim from Fraunhofer IAO, Stuttgart, Germany.

Abstract

For the cities of tomorrow, comprehensive mobility and energy concepts are required to establish a sustainable transport ecosystem. Our research topics focus on fleet electrification, recognizing and assessing the service potential of automated driving, and analyzing (mobility) data to craft new business models. In joint cross-sector projects, we identify and harness technological potential that can help market players gain or even sharpen their competitive edge. For empirical and experimental evidences of the theoretical concepts we test our approaches on our own fleet of electric vehicles, in our smart microgrid living lab or in our in-house mobility innovation lab, which is a prototyping facility as well as a creativity space for the creation of ideas and workshops.
