Dear all,
I would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the panel "Before
data, after platforms. Long trajectories of mobilities’ digitalisation"
at the T2M Conference in Leipzig, 23-25 September 2024.
The CfP is open until April 7th and all the necessary information can be
found on the website:
https://comode.leibniz-ifl-projekte.de/t2m-2024-conference-2/
You can see the rationale for the panel below. Please get in touch
directly with me in case of any questions. Submissions should go to
t2m@leibniz-ifl.de
Best wishes (and apologies for cross-posting),
Karol
Digitalisation is one of the main driving forces of current
transformations of mobilities and transport. The trend is clearly
visible anywhere from vehicle sharing, transportation planning systems,
integration of mobility platforms to autonomisation to growing use of
AI. At the same time, many of the new technologies have their roots in
old ones and only use “just add data” formula to purport the reinvention
of transportation. For instance, shared bikes comprise of new networked
online data but also a bike – technology with over 150 years of history.
This session wants to look for these old inspirations that now form an
integral part of digitalising mobilities and explore possibilities of
going beyond digitalisation itself. In this way, it creates a space for
critical, historical and future investigations into what is pre-, or not
digital in the new data-oriented technologies. It also intends to
interrogate the history of data-oriented systems and their influence on
current technologies as well as the future that goes beyond platform and
AI mobilities.
The session especially welcomes (but is not limited to) contributions
that explore following issues:
- Pre-digital uses of large-scale data for transportation.
- Non-digital transportation system that feed digitalisation.
- Historical cases of proto-digitalisation in transportation and
mobility planning.
- Failed or abandoned data innovation in transportation history.
- Long duration and persistence of data – where do digital systems learn
from?
- Blind spots of digitalisation – what are the consequences of not
sufficiently digitalised mobilities?
- Future beyond data and platforms – what will we learn about transport
from its digitalisation?
- Will there be non-digital mobilities and what will they be based on?
