Top Trends in Transportation Technology
Abstract
Where is sustainability headed and which technologies will drive decision-making for greater environmental, economic and social impacts? Transportation technologies (e.g., connected and automated vehicles) and new approaches to mobility (e.g., shared services) are advancing so rapidly that it can be difficult for policy makers to frame incentives, regulations, and market signals to promote all three pillars of sustainability: equity, the environment, and the economy. In this plenary session panelists will address questions around how academics, policy-makers, the private sector, NGOs, and others can work together to shape the use of technologies for new mobility solutions to benefit all users of our transportation systems.
