Annual Conference 2019
The SCCER Mobility Annual Conference convened for the sixth time on 6 September 2019 at ETH Zurich. This year we reached the highest participant number so far and welcomed over 150 expert guests from academia, public agencies and industry. Elisabeth Windisch from the International Transport Forum kicked off the conference with a keynote lecture presenting newest insights of the “International Transport Outlook 2019”. She stressed that it is important for transport policy to anticipate disruptions coming from other sectors and to promote innovation. In a second keynote, Konstantinos Boulouchos (Head SCCER Mobility) highlighted the key messages of the EASAC report “Decarbonisation of transport: options and challenges”, which he chaired. His talk also put emphasis on the aviation sector, as its decarbonization will be especially challenging and have profound impacts on the entire energy system. In the following sessions, Capacity Areas Coordinators presented the research highlights of the different areas and other special topics. René Schumann (University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland) and Thomas Stoiber (University of Basel) gave an overview and showed first results of the Joint Activity CREST-Mobility. Presented outcomes focused on a study that analyzed consumer preference concerning shared and pooled autonomous vehicles. Furthermore, the coordinators of the digitalization projects that were launched this year presented their work plans and research goals. Concluding the conference, we announced the winner of the Best Poster Award. Previously, an external review committee had evaluated the submitted posters and the six best authors presented their work with short pitches in the plenary session. Elisabeth Windisch, Horst Friedrich (DLR), Sigrid Pirkelbauer (ASTRA) and Helmut Eichlseder (TU Graz), this year’s poster jury, selected Giacomo Pareschi and Maximilian Held (both Aerothermochemistry and Combustion Systems Laboratory, ETH Zurich) as the winners. They co-authored the poster entitled “The biggest bang for the buck: Where to use a marginal kWh of renewable electricity in the Swiss transport sector”. Congratulations!
