Keynote presentation

Title:
Resource efficient mobility: What does it take?

Abstract:
In striving for zero emission mobility, a large focus is on electric vehicles; development, testing and implementation. Needless to say that these vehicles still do create emissions, though less on the time and location of its use. We also do have other modes of mobility which are quite resource efficient. What about them? And what about AI; it often is seen as enabler for automated mobility. Yet, in resource efficiency it can play an essential role as well.
