GMT : 02/11| 00:15 - 01:45 Paris : 02/11| 01:15 - 02:45 New Delhi : 02/11| 05:45 - 07:15 Tokyo : 02/11| 09:15 - 10:45 Sydney : 02/11| 11:15 - 12:45

Chair: Dr. Chi Xie, Tongji University, and Dr. Bo Zou, University of Illinois at Chicago

Transportation has been undergoing a rapid and one of the most remarkable transformations in the modern era, in which electrification and smart technologies represent two of the major driving forces. On the one hand, given the mounting pressure to combat climate change, electrification of vehicles have direct and significant impacts on reducing fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the transportation sector, which accounts for 14% of global GHG emissions. On the other hand, smart transportation technologies, especially by leveraging big data and artificial intelligence, help reduce not only GHG emissions but also system inefficiency and social cost. This Foresight Session invites four internationally renowned leading scholars to share their experience and perspectives on important issues, challenges, and opportunities in the design, planning, development, and operations of electrified and smart transportation systems, on both passenger and freight transportation, and from multicontinental perspectives.
