The keynote by Bilal Zafar focuses on the topic of “AI in Work and Society - Opportunities and Challenges for the Bus Industry” and sheds light on how artificial intelligence is driving change in the mobility industry. This includes innovative applications such as autonomous driving, precise customer and the intelligent use of sensor data for vehicle monitoring.
Bilal gives an exciting outlook on what the possibilities for the bus industry could look like, which developments we can expect and which of them have the potential to bring fundamental change. He also speaks about the potential challenges associated with this change. Despite all the certainties and uncertainties, it remains clear that the future of the bus industry is not possible without the intelligent use of AI.
On the Future Forum Stage at BUS2BUS 2024, our speakers discussed the future of autonomous, demand-oriented public transport. Autonomous concepts may become a reality sooner than many people think - especially in countries such as China and the USA.
The panel discussion focused in particular on the opportunities that autonomous buses could offer for the mobility transition in rural areas. Reducing costs by 50-60 percent opens up enormous potential here. However, many questions remain unanswered: Which business models make sense? How do vehicle concepts and scheduled services need to be adapted to accommodate actual customer needs?
This panel discussion focused on the role of modern public transport as the backbone of mobility in metropolitan areas. In particular, it focused on how sustainable, integrated and safe transport services can enable multimodal mobility, including private sharing services and autonomous on-demand ridesharing. The experts shed light on how these solutions can contribute to the seamless connection of surrounding rural areas. They also discussed how European public transport players assess the major challenges (driver shortage, climate change and the transition to alternative drive systems) and which strategies they will use to be successful in the future.
The Young Mobility Network brought together the voices of young professionals from the mobility industry on the Deep Dive Stage at BUS2BUS 2024. The focus was to identify and intensively discuss pain points, challenges and visions for the future of mobility. These valuable insights flowed directly into the presentation and the subsequent panel discussion, which brought a new impulses into the industry and set the initial course for the future makers of tomorrow.
