[sustran] World Mobility Forum 1 to 3 February 2005, Stuttgart, Germany

[EcoPlan, Paris]

Since Simon Norton is clearly in full form (see his piquant Fri 12/17/2004
7:01 PM), I thought that I would share yet another in the hope that this too
might unloose a few critical tongues. And hurry, register early.

World Mobility Forum 1 to 3 February 2005, Stuttgart, Germany 

 

China and the Asian region: Mobility is reaching its limits 

Source: http://www.worldmobilityforum.com/frmset_en.php?lang=en

 

Permanent traffic jams on roads, overloaded air corridors and incompatible
railway networks in Europe are already pushing mobility to its acceptable
limits. Super cities such as Bombay, Beijing or São Paulo are growing with
incredible speed - the infrastructure falls by the wayside. The eastward
enlargement in May 2004 has brought about a dramatic increase in heavy goods
traffic, and in Asia, above all in China, the signs are that mobility is
growing explosively in all areas. 

How will the environment cope? What decisions and technologies can save the
environment? Will the demand for mobility in China develop in a similar way
as in Europe? What will be the consequences? Can the Internet, GPS,
telematics and Galileo, as the modern representatives of mobility, help in
the search for a mobility of the future? 

International experts from all areas of mobility will discuss this in five
panels. What will be their view on the opportunities and risks of the
Chinese market? What technological developments can have an effect on
environment and energy consumption? How can the local public transport and
the infrastructure in metropolitan areas such as Beijing and Shanghai be
organized for a future that is right for mobility? What kind of visions are
needed today, to still have a mobility appropriate for people in this
enormous area tomorrow?

• How are 1.3 billion people being mobilised?

• Is chaos in the gigantic conurbations inevitable?

• Can breakthrough technologies, such as the internet, telematics, GPS and
Galileo solve or reduce these problems?

• Are fuel cell, hydrogen and bio fuels the technologies of the future?

• Are we, given the limitation of resources, soon faced with a global
distribution battle?

• Is sustainable mobility in the future a vision or a utopia?

 

At World Mobility Forum 2005, International experts from politics, commerce
and science discuss these and other topics related to mobility.

 

Workshops on the subject of:

- “The Soccer World Cup 2006 in Germany – The logistics of major
international events”

- “Risks and potentials of cross-linked transportation systems”

- “Marginal and general conditions for the transfer to China”

 

Exclusively for the World Mobility Forum 2005: A study undertaken by
PricewaterhouseCoopers on the subject: “Mobility in China 2005”

 

Accompanying trade fair with special emphasis on fuel cell and traffic
management systems.

 

The future is meeting in Stuttgart: World Mobility Forum 2005 is the meeting
point of the mobility industry, the platform for contacts.
