Wed., April 9, 2014 AVL Technology Leadership Center 9:00- 9:45 a.m. <\/p>\n
Dr. Peter Phelps, Senior Research\/Futurist with the Institute for Mobility Research, BMW Group, will present \"Mobility: Future Market, or End of Growth?\" <\/p>\n
For more than a century, intercity rail, public transport and the mass production of cars has strongly supported economic growth and continuously rising sub-urbanization. Transportation has pushed industrial development all around the world. Mobility has become a necessity to handle everyday life. Yet, while developing countries have just recently entered the period of fast mobility growth, in many industrialized countries one can find evidence for stagnating passenger travel, especially driven by changing car usage. Next to economic factors, explanations point to demographic development or increasing multi-modal mobility patterns of young adults. <\/p>\n
What does this mean for the future? Must industrialized countries like the US or Germany cope with stagnating mobility development? Which mobility path will subsequent developing countries (such as BRIC - Brazil, Russia, India, China) follow in the future? Based on international research initiated by the Institute for Mobility Research (ifmo), this keynote address will answer the above questions and conclude new possibilities for the future mobility market. <\/p>\n
