Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise: Transforming the future of transportation through technology

Transportation is crucial for social and economic development worldwide as it creates growth opportunities, generates jobs, and facilitates trade. However, the design and delivery of transport services are expected to become increasingly complex in the coming decades.

The social and technological changes of recent years have significantly altered the usage of transport systems, rendering some of them inadequate. Experts predict that the changes in the upcoming decades will be even more significant. Factors such as rapid population growth, aging populations, climate change, and urban migration will strain transport systems and reshape mobility, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. According to a study by the United Nations, by 2050, 2.5 billion people worldwide will migrate to cities, with 90% of this increase occurring in Asia.

In a conversation with #biztechasia, Ilya Gutlin, Senior Vice President, APAC, from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, shared his perspective on how governments in the Asia Pacific region can reimagine the future of transportation by taking proactive measures to enhance their transportation systems through technology. He discussed Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise’s smart transportation solutions, which enable transport operators to connect their subsystems with technology building blocks, thus enabling smarter services for customers, and passengers and highlighted trends that will shape the future of transportation.

Ilya also addressed the following points:

• The significance of the APAC region to Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise.
• Proactive steps taken by governments across the Asia Pacific region to strengthen their transport networks.
• His thoughts on the gold standard worldwide regarding transportation infrastructure and the incorporation of technology to future-proof the infrastructure.
• Key trends that will shape the future of transportation, including sustainability, passenger experience, and overall operational efficiency.
