Regulating Vehicle Access for Improved Liveability

Smart Mobility in Helmond – Live Webcast

On Wednesday June 10, from 7.30 PM to 8.30 PM, ReVeAL partner city Helmond, NL, is planning a live webcast on smart mobility. What are the influences of COVID-19 on our way of traveling? Can sustainable mobility be the norm? The world of mobility is changing enormously, but many are still traveling fossil-fueled cars. However, the future will hopefully showcase more electric shared cars, bicycles, scooters and self-driving minibuses. Within this frame, Helmond has been working for years on modern techniques to make transport safer, smoother and cleaner. This begs the question: what else will and shall happen in the coming years to make Helmond an even more accessible, safe and sustainable city? In Helmond’s Brainport Smart District, the future residents are already working together on progressive mobility and on a world in which private cars are things of the past. Ask your questions during the live webcast During the live webcast, participants will be taken into the world of Helmond’s smart mobility. They will be able to ask questions via YouTube, Facebook and WhatsApp (a mobile number will be displayed non-stop during the broadcast). Main points of discussion Gertjan Koolen of the SmartwayZ.NL program will ponder on how COVID-19 affects mobility Deputy mayor for Mobility Antoinette Maas will discuss Helmond’s experience Menno Lijkendijk of Mobility Mixx will describe mobility services in Helmond Sonja van Uden will discuss the mobility innovations in Brainport Smart District, the smartest district in the Netherlands.   Read the original news item in Dutch HERE.   📌Tomorrow – June 10, from 7.30 PM to 8.30 PM, @CIVITAS_ReVeAL Partner @gemeenteHelmond is planning a #livestream on #smartmobility.
