Urban Air Mobility (UAM), a three-dimensional eco-friendly and low-noise transportation system, is rapidly emerging as an aternative to improving the congested ground transportation and atmosphere qualiy, which in turn would enhance the quality of life.

In anticipation of the commercialization of UAM - the innovation in future urban transportation - which will take effect in 2025, this session will explore the paradigm shift in urban transportation upon the network expansion of urban transportation into the sky.

Also, the session will prompt discussions on the best ways to secure and strensthen the private sectors'capacities by sharing the current status regading development and the endeavors made by domestic and foreign companies.

This session will introduce the smart mobility vision of Seoul, the leading city in the transportation sector.

Specifically, the session will diagnose the changes between the current and future mobility and present the direction of transportation innovation that will advance Seoul's future.

The session will also explain the goals, implementation strategies, and expected results of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's effortsin achieving the key areas of smart mobility such as urban air services,self-driving vehicles, smart logistics, etc. Presentations on cases at homeand abroad, along with those on the Seoul Metropolitan Government's mobility vision, will provide an opportunity to gain greater insight intothe future of transportation.

The implementation of fully autonomous driving, in which vehicles perceivethe environment and make judgments autonomously, requires innovation not only in the vehicle manufacturing sector, but also in the fields of information and communication, road infrastructure, etc. This session addresses a paradigm shift to the vehicle-to-everything (V2X)based Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) in which vehiclesand the road infrastructure communicate with each other by utilizing information and communications technology (ICT) to achieve safe autonomous driving and efficient traffic management.

Along with the development of key future technologies for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the development of autonomous driving is speeding up to accomplish the goal of perfecting full self-driving by 2027.

This session will discuss the current development status of autonomous driving technologies applied to various fields of mobility, such as vehicles and robots, and explore the solutions to advance into the stage of full self-driving.

Eco-friendly green mobility is now spreading worldwide due to the dramatic climate change and environmental pollution.

This session will introduce the latest technologies in eco-friendly green mobility, share industry trends, and explain green mobility policies in domestic and foreign cities along with their successes, plans, etc. The participants in this session will engage in in-depth discussions on green mobility and the resulting sustainable cities in the future.

With the advent of user-centered on-demand mobility services, the paradigm in mobility is shifting from the 'purchase of cars’ to the 'purchase of mobile services'. Given that mobility service providers as well as mobile carriers and automotive manufacturers are pursuing the MaaS platform worldwide, it is now time for us to acquire a deeper understanding in MaaS.

This session will share the current status of domestic and foreign companies that are planning to provide MaaS or are already providing MaaS, introduce the related projects of those companies, and discuss the lessons learned. The participants will thereby explore the direction and practical implementation of Korean-style MaaS.

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically altered the world's economies, societies, businesses, and the lives of individuals, and the current of such a change is also significantly affecting the mobility industry's environment and ecosystem.

This session will explore the changes and implications of mobility usage patterns owing to the outbreak and spread of COVID-19. The session will also discuss the challenges and promising innovation in mobility during and beyond the COVID-19 era by introducing the various strategies and examples carried out by mobility companies.
