Exploring new trends is at the heart of Keolis' innovation process.
What will passengers' expectations be in 2040?
How will our employees' jobs evolve?
What technological breakthroughs and demographic changes will mobility have to adapt to in the medium term?
These questions are the raison d'être of Open Explore: an approach that questions the present in order to better guide our innovations and shape the mobility of the future.
The Open Explore initiative focuses on five key issues for the future of mobility:
Artificial intelligence, nudging, inclusivity, autonomous mobility... these are just some of the themes shaping the mobility professions and services of tomorrow. Explore the latest projects led by Keolis in partnership with its local authorities:
