T20 TF8 Digital transformation in transportation infrastructure development of emerging countries

This session is curated by T20 Task Force 8 Lead Co-Chair Danang Parikesit, Professor, Universitas Gadjah Mada.

Rising population versus the challenge of climate change has been our commonplace issue. More population requires more mobility, but it is constrained by the increasing awareness of climate change issues such as carbon emission. Nevertheless, the recent developments in the Internet of Things (IoT) are able to assist the stakeholders in optimizing current capacity and mitigating the negative risk of transportation infrastructure development. Even in the time of COVID-19, digitalization has helped many public transportation infrastructures to revive. This session will discuss a number of lessons learned (Smart Port, Multi-Lane Free Flow, etc.) in the digital sector to assist the government in creating policy decisions for transport infrastructure projects.
