Online Training: Planning for Autonomous Mobility

Organised by the International Road Federation, FACTUAL, and EIT Urban Mobility, the 3^rd edition of the online training Planning for Autonomous Mobility aims to provide a comprehensive outlook on the current and future opportunities for autonomous mobility.

The training will tackle various aspects and relevant features of autonomous vehicles to encompass/comprise the new mobility demands, how they impact the urban landscape, long-distance travel, logistics, economy, sidewalk management, etc. It will also purvey tools that will help to solve the future challenges that autonomous vehicles will convey. 

The course will be structured in 5 sessions of two hours each per week (taking place at 14:00-16:00 CET each day). Different learning methods will be used by top-level speakers, such as keynotes, workshops, roundtables, and case studies. This training is open to everyone, professional or not, interested in the mobility sector, and willing to deepen their knowledge, skills, and abilities to enhance their technical, business, and professional competencies in autonomous mobility.
