Don’t miss our next episode of Mobility Talks on Intermodality taking place next 8 July at 15:30 CEST!
Main Question: How can we move towards seamless integration?
Intermodality aims to drive the better use of existing mobility services whilst facilitating the integration of new solutions, new mobility modes and promote new business models. It includes increasing the interconnectivity and accessibility of, and between, mobility modes and networked hubs. Clearly, there is a huge importance of Intermodality and so the question that comes about is “How can we work towards seamless integration?”
Throughout this dynamic Mobility Talk, we will discuss the barriers to intermodality currently existing, and which have already been overcome. Furthermore, questions will be raised to the audience leading to open discussions about intermodality and how projects have the potential to help boost this goal of seamless integration under different settings.
Ferdinand Burgersdijk, Independent consultant at FRCB and Maas Councillor for the Benelux
Planet, People, Public and Private are key features in my life. In order to establish value balancing collaboration between all these is imminent, Collaboration can only be successful when all parties have a similar understanding of the objective. That they can add value to that common objective through their individual contributions. I love to connect the dots. And through connecting I help organisations to realise emerging value. This value is derived from common understanding by communicating and collaborating, dependent on a certain level of trust. In my career I’ve seen what the weight is of direct and indirect connectedness. Done well it adds to all, if done badly only a few benefit. With my background in law, business administration and more recently philosophy I’m coming to a better understanding on how we enable collaboration by taking down walls. My work in MaaS I do exactly that: taking down walls. Communication: by chairing the working groups on technology, standardisation and ticketing; Collaboration: leading international projects for cross border seamlessness; Building trust: setting up an independent trust(ed) framework to enable a level data playing field called FairsFair.
