Online Training: Planning for Autonomous Mobility

Overview

Organised as a joint partnership between the International Road Federation, EIT Urban Mobility, and FACTUAL, the training Planning for Autonomous Mobility is designed to tackle key aspects of autonomous mobility as a means to respond to new transport demands and to deliver value to society and businesses.

More specifically, the training will equip the participants with knowledge on relevant features of the autonomous mobility ecosystem, including, urban landscape impact, long-distance travel, logistics, economic aspects, etc., and provide the tools that will help them solve future challenges that autonomous vehicles will convey. 

Our tailored training targets mobility professionals interested in deepening their knowledge, skills, and abilities to enhance their technical, business, and professional competencies in autonomous vehicles while furthering their careers.
