the possibility for a human driver to take manual control of an automated vehicle in
case of failure, and for the vehicle to function in the absence of communication.
Redundancy and diversity can be increased by allowing different communication
protocols, acting together. Training the personnel locally is essential to making the
system robust against lack of the adequate skills. The security of the communication
networks is also of the utmost importance (robustness).
- Change of the urban shape to a compact and dense model, with mixed-use
neighborhoods: The change of the urban shape is a long term proposition as the
development of a city takes place on very long time frames. However, a compact city,
with mixed use neighborhoods is the solution that best accommodates the reduction in
the need to travel, while increasing the utility and effectiveness of active modes of
travel. For these reasons, a compact and mixed city is by all means the city shape that
allows for the most resilient transportation system. A resilient city will provide various
alternative destinations (redundancy); different types of places to carry out daily
activities (diversity) and the possibility to reach them even in the case of a catastrophic
failure of the transport system (robustness).
Key Topics
PROPOSALS
The Third Industrial Revolution Internet of Things platform can help Luxembourg shift from a
“fragmented, carbon intensive individual transport” to active mobility combined with
renewable energy and multimodal transportation on a driverless road, rail, water, and air
Mobility Internet, achieving the “vision for 2050.”
The Mobility team, gathering various stakeholders of the transportation and mobility sector,
has identified several key priority topics. The topics and proposals have been grouped into 4
main subjects that are considered relevant in the TIR scenario. These subjects are:
1. Shift towards emissions-free vehicles.
2. Shared transport in a multimodal environment.
3. Digitalization as an enabler.
4. Limiting/revisiting the need for mobility.
To effectively achieve the objective presented in the “Vision 2050,” it is essential to embed the
interventions in a broader systemic frame. With this in mind, Luxembourg will need to engage
