Title: Smart Mobility with no associated sensors? Mobile devices at the core of mobility

Abstract: Current mobility solutions have the ability to track users and ingest data from diverse sources but none of them close circle by offering smart routes to their users. We will be discussing the benefits of having an application that can calculate the routes it is recommending in real-time on the device itself. Which implications does it have for future mobility? Should users be aware of the criteria that is modifying their routes?
