Thunder road – the digital traffic revolution

Imagine a city with no traffic jams. Fewer accidents. And much less pollution. This is an image of our cities in the future – but it's not merely utopian. With help from digital development our physical life could be much better. Sometimes the term "smart cities" is used, implying that digital solutions might be able to create an environment that is far from what many of us are experiencing today. You will hear • Anna Kramers, PhD at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Her area of research is Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for Smart Sustainable Cities. • Dan Strömberg, CEO of Telia Estonia, about the pioneering traffic experiments in Tartu • Peter Fristedt, a cab driver in Stockholm longing for new solutions to old problems.
