Transit agencies nationally have been implementing microtransit in the form of small vans for a long time, gleaning value from the ability to serve more people who are beyond the reach of fixed-route bus or train services. But now we are experiencing an even more “micro” form of micromobility that represents both a blessing and a curse to transit leaders — the electric scooter ...
The rise of autonomous vehicles has seized the media spotlight and for good reason: this technology will radically transform mobility in the coming decades. Yet another, quieter revolution also is underway in the transportation space as innovative transit agencies embrace advanced technology tools for delivering safe, cost-effective services to their communities ...
As the nation moves toward deployment of autonomous and connected vehicles, safety remains a top priority for public and private sector leaders alike. Self-driving technology promises to improve safety by removing the potential for human error, which contributes to an estimated 95 percent of accidents ...
As emerging technologies such as connected and autonomous vehicles are deployed on a wider scale, disruptive innovations are poised to revolutionize surface transportation infrastructure and personal mobility ...
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 ...
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 ...
