Mobility

It is taking longer and longer to get from Point A to point B. One possible solution would be to link public transportation with micromobility, such as electric scooters and on-demand shuttles (integrated public transport). As of 2021, micromobility has successfully established itself, but integrated, intermodal offerings are still not in sight, and one reason could be a lack of user value. So, the question is: are there user value problems associated with integrated public transport? Our investigation resorts to utilizing simulations. Scenarios are tested in the city of Hamburg. To designing successful integrated public transport solutions, results would be crucial.

Ever wondered why we are missing out on getting from point A to point B more quickly in urban areas, such as with intermodal travel? Learn how the Telekom Data Intelligence Hub (DIH) team is using a next-generation European standards-based data sharing and exchange technology referred to as dataspace to speed up personal travel.

The European Funding Project FENIX connects different pilot regions and transport corridors, to do so the project relies on the know-how of T-Systems.

We help companies put their data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) on the right data platform so that data is under control, available, usable, reliable, and secure – all as a managed service in the cloud.

What is going on: The Federal Chancellor speaks of data spaces. Instead of “cash for clunkers” as an aid for the automotive industry there will be a data space now (Delhaes 2020, Benrath & Löhr 2021). So, what exactly is a data space?

One highlight of the 2021 IDSA Summit, the International Data Spaces Association’s annual flagship event, was the official launch of the IDS Mobility Community. IDSA envisions IDS communities as a crucial link between cross-industry standardization and industry-specific adoption and adaptation (link).

Deutsche Telekom organized the #AIHack4Mobility on March 18th and 19th. After the success with #AIHack4Diversity in 2019 (link) and #AIHack4Ladies 2018, this year everything revolved around the topic of “Future Mobility” under the motto “Artificial Intelligence for Diversity Teams”.

The German federal government is building the foundation of a mobility data space or MDS. This was announced at the “Autogipfel” car industry summit in September 2020 by Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) with car industry bosses and the governors of key car-making states (Delhaes 2020, link).

Boy, Germany’s auto business is in a pickle … and probably all of us! Automotive has been a strong and reliable engine of growth, jobs, wealth and innovation for the German and European economy. Now, it suffers from its own success: too many cars everywhere, ever longer traffic jams, air pollution, noise (see “Stuck in traffic,” link): On top of it, digitalization and new tech like electrification and autonomous driving are transforming the global auto industry and shifting revenues from selling hardware to providing services (see “Service shift,” link). Now, the government and the Bundestag, have become involved to support key stakeholders to accelerate digital solutions toward a new, better performing mobility system.
