The popularity of active mobility modes, like cycling or scooters, is increasing steadily, in particular in densely populated areas where car traffic is choking. This, however, creates new problems: managing the coexistence of bike and car traffic, roadworks affecting bike lanes; or the accessibility of/information about dedicated bike infrastructure, like bike parking facilities. 

Many active mobility projects target standardization issues, often with clean-sheet approaches, where conversely existing standardization organizations address active mobility standards extrapolating from their ‘home turf’ standards, often starting with quite different thought concepts. TISA therefore did a gap & overlap analysis of ongoing standardization activities and presents initial findings in this SIS. 

The objective is not to present the ‘ultimate one-size-fits-all’ standard solution, but rather engage the audience in a discussion about how to improve interoperability and alignment as well as encourage collaboration between the different standardization activities, as it is for example done by the Open Auto Drive Forum in the area of automated driving.

Invited speakers:
Stephanie Chaufton, TISA – on motivation why standards for active mobility are needed (results of the gap & overlap analysis of existing standards) and how the OADF collaboration model can be applied in the area of active mobility
Danny Woolard, GEWI – Content generation and the need to produce relevant high-quality date for both the service provider and consumer
Paul Yacoumis, Manager - Active Transport, Micromobility & Environment Insights, Victoria Department of Transport and Planning – on their needs and/or standardization plans for active mobility
Samuel Pierce, Project Manager - Cycling Industries Europe
