Urban Mobility Future
The first session sets the scene of the colloquium with a broader perspective into possible mobility futures and ways to explore or shape them. The perspective revolves around urban mobility in the context of urban life(styles), socio-technical transitions, and human-centred approaches.

Keynote : Futuring Mobilities in Times of Uncertainty
The development of urban mobility can in many ways be said to be the key determinant factor for the development of urban morphologies. The ways in which cities have grown and developed is a function of Mobilities systems and infrastructural landscapes connecting (and dis-connecting) urban nodes and agglomeration in a complex geography of proximity and connectivity. With the advent of automated technologies and networked digital network technologies the future of urban mobility seems borderless. Yet, in the sobering midst of COVID-19 the world has come to if not a halt then at least a pause, and questions about future trajectories and development patterns have fueled heated public debates. This presentation will shortly discuss the role of urban Mobilities as a vital force of the network city. Then a discussion about futures and utopian imaginaries will follow as a framework for how to think about futures. COVID-19 as a globally disruptive event will then be discussed and finally some speculative reflections on whereto this might lead is offered.

14:00-16:30 CET 
Governance, Business Models & Opportunities
The second session centres around Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) as one of the solutions that illustrate Urban Mobility Futures. However, we need to push the analysis and methods to identify and evaluate the pitfalls of MaaS: Economic barriers, regulatory issues, policy development and user adoption. The conceptualisation of MaaS has not yet settled. The tension in its definition remains ongoing as researchers and industrials continue to identify the implications of this integrated sustainable (shared) mobility approach to existing mobility demand-supply regimes.

Keynote: How to shape a mobility of the future which serves general interest? Potential emerging mobility services with automated vehicles and their related ecosystems in cities
Sustainable mobility is a main concern of citizens and a key success factor to succeed in meeting the goal of sustainable development. Platform economy and automated vehicles could revolutionise mobility and make cities more sustainable and resilient. However, first research papers show that, depending on the followed governance, the expected sustainability impact, could be improved or worsened. Aim of this article is to analyse which mobility concepts should be followed to serve best the general interest and anticipate “the winner takes it all “effects” which cannot be undone later. In a first step, the principles of the internet economy and in particular platform economy and customer/passenger/citizen centric approaches are analysed to understand how value and positive or negative externalities can be created and assessed qualitatively. Furthermore, it will be analysed under which circumstances potential benefits could be privatised and the costs socialised to the detriment of the public interest or not. In a second step, these findings are applied to the transport sector where digitalisation and in particular Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and automated vehicles (AV) can be seen as game changer. Four possible scenarios of future passenger transports in cities are then developed, evaluated and discussed with the beforementioned qualitative criteria. The article shows that an integration of AV into an intermodal MaaS, where public and private platforms integrate seamless transport offerings produces the most benefits for the cities and their citizens. Besides, two conditions for this emergence are emphasized: regulation and Standards (Open Data and APIs).

Sustainability Challenges for Innovation in Urban Mobility
The last session zooms out again and explores what possibilities exist to evaluate the sustainability of emerging mobility modes and their infrastructures, and what the societal impacts associated with mobility data are. Lastly, a guiding question will be the challenge how to balance between efficiency and sufficiency of mobility systems.

Keynote: Sustainable mobility through business action

Keynote: The challenges for Hydrogen Mobility: Combining Local and Global Cooperation
Hydrogen plans across Europe select as one of their priorities the use of hydrogen for mobility, more specifically for heavy and light duty vehicles (trucks, buses, trains, light commercial vehicles…). This choice seems quite judicious; it is in this type of segments that hydrogen has advantages over batteries. Ongoing projects are most often developing around regional clusters, whose analysis highlights two challenges: the high fixed costs of the infrastructure on the one hand, and the high purchasing cost of vehicles on the other, whereas the question of the cost of hydrogen is much less critical than for industrial uses.
The first challenge must be solved locally by ensuring sufficient and predictable demand, for example by setting up supply-demand partnerships such as the Hype cab company in Paris, which brings together the cab operator, the hydrogen supplier Air Liquide, and Toyota, which supplies the vehicles. Except for this very special case, many regional programs suffer structurally from a lack of coordination between the implementation of the infrastructure and the potential users. Encouraging the pooling of uses is particularly welcome, but it is complex to implement because the businesses may be so different. Money is not necessarily the keystone.
The challenge of the high cost of hydrogen vehicles – a diesel bus, for example, costs €210k, a battery bus about twice that and a hydrogen bus three times that – cannot be solved locally. Meeting this challenge calls for a national, and more likely European, approach to generate enough volume to lower the cost of vehicles by relying on manufacturers. This calls for a remark. While Europe has major players in certain critical components (fuel cells, high-pressure tanks), European carmakers are slow to invest in hydrogen. Their priority commitment is to battery-powered electric vehicles. How can we create incentives for them to invest in another technology, knowing that they are also facing a crisis?
