We've heard how new mobility services will improve quality of life for city residents by making car ownership optional, if not obsolete — but, so far, it hasn't happened. In fact, in many cities, traffic has gotten worse since the advent of ridehailing services. The problem with ridehailing in its current form is that it isn't optimized, the riders are the dispatchers and drivers don't know where the demand is until a request pops up on their smartphones ...
As an influx of connected and autonomous vehicles reaches American roads over the next decade, many sweeping changes to our transportation network are expected. In the distant future, they even may completely re-frame the way cities are designed. When these technologies become the norm, where will these changes begin? ...
Americans expect autonomous, self-driving vehicles will be commonplace in America within the next 15 years, according to research published in a new HNTB survey, which also highlights the need for infrastructure solutions to accommodate their use ...
It' no secret that connected and autonomous vehicle technology is just around the corner, and will profoundly affect the U.S. transportation network. With this knowledge, toll agencies have two choices: invest to prepare their systems to leverage these coming technologies, or maintain status quo and risk falling behind, potentially being unprepared ...
I listened to a live webcast, Washington Post Live: Transformers Cities. There was the usual discussion of how autonomous vehicles were going to shake up the way we get around, but I want to focus in on the question of the role of public transit ...
Technology is a key component in a city achieving "smart" status. However, cities should not implement technology for its own sake – it must be implemented strategically to solve real issues ...
Around the world thousands of road weather information systems (RWIS) have been set up to improve road safety during inclement weather (rain, snow, sleet, fog), increase efficient management of labor, equipment and materials for a variety of organizations, and to reduce the adverse environmental impacts from road maintenance activities (salt, de-icing chemicals) ...
It's no secret intelligent transportation systems will play a key role in the future of transportation. But what does implementation look like, and will ITS improve safety and congestion in our cities? To answer these questions, the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority is implementing the Tampa Connected Vehicle Pilot ...
I decided to share my current predictions about connected and autonomous vehicles ...
I attended the recent ITS California annual conference in San Francisco. One presentation covered the gamut of issues that will need to be addressed as the world completely changes and left me thinking about when we might realistically see autonomous vehicles, what that might look like and where we might see them. So I decided to share my current predictions about connected and autonomous vehicles ...
