Description

The wave of innovation in ITS and apps for mobile devices are transforming the way traffic and transit data are communicated to customers in real time. Some of such innovations are quickly adopted by end-users, in particular those focusing on vehicle technologies /software. Others require infrastructure investments and coordination with city and transportation planners before being implemented.

This workshop focused on emerging technologies that increase multi-modal transport options and reduce traffic congestion, and associated emissions. Presenters highlighted emerging mobility innovations, including how they can be developed to address current transportation challenges. They discussed how innovations align with current transportation plans, and serve different constituencies, including people with special mobility needs.
