Presentation Description
Why need AV based Sharing Mobility? Here are 3(three) backgrounds. First, we need innovative mobility solutions to prepare for worsening urbanization. Although we are currently building smart city, mega city, and compact city, etc., their solutions should be considered with 3 key mobility technologies, that is, connectivity, automation, and sharing. Second, we need to consider the limitation of owing the passenger cars in urban areas, because of increased cost caused by purchase, registration and maintenance, and of limited parking space, and of long time spent in office and at home. Third, there are inefficiency of manned rental system, in terms of increased labor cost for manual dispatching and operation, and of limited designated parking space for managing the manned rental cars, and of inconvenience of picking-up and returning the rental car. Here are solutions based on automated and shared mobility service technologies. The automated free-floating for optimizing the routing problems is the key service in case of no parking space around the user, and of various routing problems depending on the user’s preferred locations and spending time. The automated picking-up and returning the automated and shared vehicle is the service for users to call any time and any place for getting in or out of it. The automated dispatching and maintenance is the service for service providers to operate and manage automatically, based on forecasting the demand and optimal locations of users and operators on sites. The automated and shared mobility technologies and services have been developed and tested since 2022, and then will be proved finally in the large-scaled living labs in 2026 and 2027.
Speaker Biography
Dr. Kyeong-Pyo Kang received the Ph.D. degree in transportation engineering at the University of Maryland at College Park(UMCP), U.S.A. in 2006. His research is focused mainly on the advanced highway operations based on the intelligent transportation systems(ITS).
He is currently working in the Korea Transport Institute(KOTI) as a senior research fellow since graduated UMCP. He conducted connected and automated mobility related research and development(R&D). Specially, the CAPTAIN(Connected and Automated Public TrAnsport system INnovation) and SHARING(Shared High Automated Routing INnovation Group) are key projects to promote the automated vehicle deployment in Korea, with the Cooperative-ITS(C-ITS) based roadway digital infrastructures.
He is also leading the C-ITS pilot deployment projects, with supporting the ITS division in Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport(MOLIT) and international cooperation with U.S. DOT(department of transportation), and EC DG(Directorates-General) CNECT(Communication Network and Technology) in the field of ITS.
