Special Session on
"Mobility for All" (M4A)
The motive behind "Mobility for All" is to ensure equitable and inclusive access to transportation and mobility solutions for all individuals, regardless of their social or economic backgrounds. The focus is on creating a transportation system that is accessible, affordable, safe, and reliable, addressing the diverse needs of people in various communities. The motive recognizes that reliable and efficient mobility plays a vital role in enabling individuals to access education, employment, healthcare, and other essential services. It aims to break down barriers and eliminate disparities by providing equal opportunities for everyone to move freely and independently.
"Mobility for All" emphasizes the importance of accessible transportation options for people with disabilities, seniors, low-income communities, and other marginalized groups who may face mobility challenges. This includes ensuring barrier-free infrastructure, accessible vehicles, multimodal transportation, and supportive services that cater to diverse needs. Additionally, the motive recognizes the significance of sustainable transportation solutions that reduce carbon emissions and promote a healthier environment in a way to foster the way of UN SDGs. It encourages the adoption of clean energy vehicles, public transportation systems, walking and cycling infrastructure, and the integration of technology for efficient route planning and ride-sharing.
The overall objective of "Mobility for All" is to create a society where transportation is not a barrier, but an enabler of opportunities, social inclusion, and economic growth. It calls for collaborative efforts and partnerships among government agencies, private sectors, advocacy groups, and communities to implement inclusive policies, invest in infrastructure, and innovate in mobility solutions, ultimately making transportation accessible and affordable for all. The session would give useful insights for mainstreaming mobility for all.

Mariacristina Roscia
University of Bergamo, Italy
Mariacristina Roscia is an Associate professor for the courses of "Electrical systems", "Smart Home into Smart City" and “Smart Grid” at the University of Bergamo, Italy. Sustainable development is the key element of my research activity, reaching the themes of the design and implementation of Smart Cities. The research areas are electrical systems for transport and smart grids in the presence of distributed generation, especially from renewable sources, for the control and management of energy flows between the network; Smart Home and Building Automation. Specifically, models for the control and optimization of systems, which can be implemented and replicated, which allow you to obtain management strategies that also respond to the new energy market through Prosumer Side Management. Systems relating to electric mobility, intelligent lighting, sustainability aspects and electrified transport systems are studied and integrated, together with Power Quality issues. Author of over 100 articles indexed on Scopus and of a book published by Springer "Holistic Approach for Decision Making Towards Designing Smart Cities".
