The document discusses intelligent mobility and the iMobility: Future Vision (IMFV) group. It describes IMFV's goal of influencing change by addressing transport problems with a systems of systems approach. IMFV has international collaborations and seeks to create seamless travel through truly intelligent systems. Examples provided include the Autonomic Traffic Support Systems project with 31 EU partners. The document concludes by asking who can contribute to IMFV's virtual centre and why organizations should join to work on intelligent mobility challenges.

9. New & Old
• New: Offering a unique opportunity to implement the ITS future
model of - ‘Seamless Travel’
• Old: Many barriers & challenges
o current infrastructure,
o migration from legacy systems,
o take up of new systems & processes by transport system managers &
operators.

11. Multidisciplinary Research
• The road to Truly Intelligent Mobility (the wider look of mobility in
relation to ITS) starts by understanding the relationship between
different factors affecting the transport networks ( efficiency,
reliability & user acceptance & preference)
• Transport Systems should not be optimised in isolation of each other or
of the dynamic environment – System of systems approach.
• Understanding the problem environment is essential for making the
right decision and following the right vision.

13. Truly Intelligent Systems – How To?
Aim to Change Behaviour (or the way of thinking) not only of end users but all
stakeholders by:
• Reduce the need for Mobility
• Cost Saving by Harmonised Deployment
Future Vision > Strategy > Polices & Guidelines > Planning > Design >Deployment >
Monitoring > On-Going Evaluation
• Identifying & Clarifying Benefits to Users (travellers & operators..)
• Intelligent Mobility Infrastructure (funding)
• Knowledge Transfer for example by
o Adequate training for systems operators ….
o Bridging The Gap between Research, Business and Industrial worlds
