18 August 2020: Data Trust and Inter-Modal Mobility Opening Conference

Tuesday, 18 August, 2020 15:00 – 18:00 HKT

Can data sharing increase sustainable smart mobility in Hong Kong?

You are welcome to join our Opening Conference of the Inter-Modal Transport Data-Sharing Programme.  This programme is an open, collaborative process and aims to bring together a wide spectrum of transport and mobility stakeholders from the business and private sectors, innovators, researchers and members of civil society concerned with environmental issues. 

In the first part of the conference, the Hong Kong Team and Dr Zhou will present one of our proof-of-concept cases, the Exchange Square Public Transport Interchange (ESPTI), where data sharing between operators and payment providers through a trusted data space will be prototyped for the first time. Hear directly from participating operators about the challenges of transforming this mobility node in the central business district into a user-friendly and convenient PTI.

In the second part there will be an opportunity to hear from directly engaged stakeholders as well as representative from other cities. We will also introduce a number of Working Groups which interested stakeholders who wish to participate more closely between now and the end of 2020, are invited to join. 

Format: Online conference using Cisco Webex with live or pre-recorded sessions and interaction with participates via chat and call. All are welcome!

Data Trust

Leading up to the programme, the HK Team held three forums (May and June 2019) and two workshops (October and December 2019) with all the stakeholders. Out of these meetings and discussions arose a focus on use cases around POCs which in some cases could develop into pilot projects.

We wish to thank MTR and KMB for their sponsorship of these forums and workshops, along with the participants in the first POC around the Exchange Square PTI – namely CityBus, KMB, MTR, Octopus Cards Limited, Hongkong Land and the Clean Air Network (CAN).
