TU Delft Workshop: Vision for a Desired Mobility System in 2050
Co-creation workshop for and with the TU Delft mobility community
18 September 2024 14:00 till 18:00 | Add to my calendar
Societal challenges compel us to re-evaluate how mobility is structured. A team of 12 mobility researchers from 6 faculties – The Mobilisers - have embarked on a journey to explore pathways towards a better Dutch mobility system in 2050. How do we create a mobility system that is sustainable, affordable, inclusive & equitable, resilient, safe, promotes a healthy lifestyle, and contributes to liveable cities?
You receive this workshop invitation because one of the Mobilisers thought it would be of interest to you.
Vision for a Desired Mobility System
On Wednesday, September 18, 2024, the Mobilisers will present their draft vision for the future of the Dutch mobility system. You are invited to attend this presentation, which will be followed by an interactive workshop. The workshop aims to gather feedback from TU Delft mobility researchers like yourself and to connect cutting-edge research at TU Delft to the envisioned future mobility system.
We look forward to your valuable contribution and insights.
Date: Wednesday, September 18, 2024 (during the European Mobility Week 2024)
Location: Vakwerkhuis, Betazaal (close to TU Delft Campus)
Time: 14:00-17:00, followed by drinks (17:00-18:00)
Dies Mobility Week in January 2025
During this workshop we will also look at the future. The theme for the TU Delft Dies Natalis celebration in January 2025 will be ‘Sustainable Mobility’ (working title) and we’re working on a full-week program with mobility-related events from January 13 untill January 17, with the Dies Natalis celebration as a main event. The Mobilisers will present their vision during that week, and have an active role in various events that TU Delft will organise. Karlijn Spoor, communication adviser at TU Delft, is leading the Dies week programming. She will share a draft program during the September 18 workshop and invite you to explore possibilities to get involved.
About the Mobilisers
The TU Delft | Transport & Mobility Institute took the initiative to launch a vision team entitled ‘Mobilisers’. The goal of this project is to develop scenarios for the future of mobility and transportation from the various disciplines within TU Delft and to arrive at an action plan and research agenda. The Mobilisers co-create their work together with internal and external stakeholders. The Mobiliser team consists of 12 mobility researchers from 6 faculties, supported by experts from the Transport & Mobility Institute, I&IC, and communication. For an overview of all team members, please visit Mobilisers Team.
TU Delft | City on the move
This event is part of the TU Delft campaign ‘City on the move’, in which we highlight how our research and innovative projects contribute to improving urban mobility. With this campaign we participate in the European Mobility Week.
Smart mobility hubs, car-free neighbourhoods, zero-emission zones and one day perhaps self-driving and self-parking cars. The city is full of opportunities to improve accessibility, liveability and safety.
This is needed, as , and finding a parking spot can be a challenge. In our cities, there is a battle for limited space: should we prioritise nature or parking spaces in our streets?
Delft urban mobility scientists are developing much-needed knowledge acities in Europe are becoming increasingly crowded with more residents, more visitors and more logistics. People are stuck in traffic jams, emit a lot of CO2, cause accidentsnd solutions to make transport in our busy cities smart, clean and safe for everyone. We are building bikes that won't topple over and autonomous boats to deliver packages over water. We are developing apps to make shared transport user-friendly. We are tinkering with algorithms for self-driving, electric vehicles. And we implement car-free neighbourhoods and green corridors for pedestrians. With our tools, data visualizations, digital twins and serious games, we help municipalities in the Netherlands and Europe with their mobility issues.
This is how we accelerate the mobility transition and make cities green, safe and accessible for everyone. Read more about the societal challenges we work on on our website.
