Panel Discussion: Technology and the New Era of Transportation and Supply Chains
Technology is transforming the transportation sector in ways that were only dreamed of a few years ago. Advanced assistance systems, AI planning, telematics – these are no longer the future, but the present. But what does this reality look like from the perspective of those living it every day? The panel discussion will focus on the relationship between people and technology in operations. How is the work of drivers and dispatchers changing as more decisions are made by software? Where do algorithms truly help, and where do they complicate matters? Are technologies helping to address the shortage of workers in transportation? How is legislation responding to rapid technological development, and what is the societal impact of automation? Transportation experts, technology suppliers, and representatives from both the private and public sectors will discuss the future of transportation in the age of advanced technologies.
