Xerox Services releases early results from its Global
Transportation Survey at ITS World Congress
Cities globally are facing the challenges of increased demand
for integrated transportation services and significant population
growth. A forthcoming 23-city global study1 from Xerox (NYSE: XRX)
shows that citizens have high expectations for transportation
innovation in their cities over the next few years. According to
the study, by 2020, half of all respondents (49 percent) believe
they will have one app for all their transportation needs and 27
percent of respondents believe they will be using a self-driving
car.
“Mobility is complicated, infrastructure is complex and widely
using driverless technologies by 2020 is likely out of reach,” said
Pat Elizondo, senior vice president, Global Sales and Marketing,
Public Sector, Xerox. “However, there are ways cities can meet
constituent innovation demands and show progress in that timeframe,
including delivering a single, unified mobility app.”
In fact, Xerox created a solution to meet citizens’
transportation desires earlier this year. Xerox debuted its own
unique mobility app that is currently piloting in Los Angeles,
Denver, Centennial and Bengaluru. The “Go” app captures the
universe of transportation options available in a city and computes
the quickest, cheapest and most sustainable way to reach a
destination.
“Offering sophisticated apps, such as Go LA and Go Denver, opens
the door for behavior change among citizens,” said Elizondo. “Even
though younger generations are more apt to use public transit,
older generations still prefer cars. These types of apps are a
great way to get all citizens on board with using alternative modes
of transportation, which will ultimately reduce congestion within
the city and allow for existing infrastructure to be used more
efficiently.”
The “Go” apps are being showcased at Xerox’s stand (#2505) at
ITS World Congress in Melbourne, Australia Oct. 10 - 14, 2016,
along with a range of other innovations that aim to solve the
biggest mobility challenges in cities around the world
including:
- Mobility Companion – a solution to
provide travellers with an integrated view of all transportation
services available in a region, currently available in Europe;
and
- Xerox Seamless® – a universal mobile payment solution that
requires commuters to simply tap and go with their NFC-enabled
smartphone.
Xerox executives will also be participating as speakers,
organizers or moderators in more than 20 sessions at the Congress
on topics ranging from parking to Mobility-as-a-Service to
Intelligent Transportation Solutions and the digital city.
Global Transportation Study
Full results from the study will be released in January 2017
from Conduent Incorporated, Xerox’s Post-Separation Business
Processing Services Company.
