Automated Urban Mobility
Free E-Learning Course
Organised by UITP Academy and the EU-funded SHOW Project
UITP Academy is launching an E-Learning programme together with the EU-funded SHOW (Shared automation Operating models for Worldwide adoption) Project on Automated Mobility.
What You Will Learn
- Explore automated mobility and discuss the possible scenarios of introducing automated vehicles in the most sustainable way for our cities. If integrated with the existing public transport system, such vehicles could help deliver more sustainable urban mobility.
- Get inspired by current operational practice, technology and policy orientations: Learn from stakeholders who build and run automated vehicles or contribute to the design of policy and regulatory frameworks.
- Broaden your knowledge and perspective on the deployment and operation of automated vehicles by learning and sharing experience with professional leaders.
- Discover the different possible use cases of Automated Vehicles becoming reality in cities and more particularly in public transport.
- Get inspired from strategies and research projects undertaken by public transport companies, cities and the industry.
- Learn from the industry and operators on the technology and the integration with public transport.

Why Join This Course?
The arrival of driverless vehicles represents a unique opportunity for a fundamental change in urban mobility and could lead to safer, healthier, more competitive and greener cities – but only if the vehicles are integrated into an effective public transport network.
A future with automated and connected vehicles can have various outcomes depending on how they are designed, operated and regulated.
Will they lead to more cars on the road, more urban sprawl and more congestion?
Or will they contribute to shaping sustainable and livable cities, the regaining of urban space for people, less vehicles on the road and a higher quality of life?
The experience of operating fleets of automated vehicles remains limited today, therefore this training programme aims at learning from the current deployments operated by various mobility services providers worldwide.
Participants will be learning from experienced trainers who are stakeholders of real-life driverless mobility services and the way forward for the introduction of automated vehicles in our cities.
The programme will cover the different modes like bus, shuttles, and taxi, all deployed for shared mobility.
