We are standing in front of a small electric autonomous shuttle. Instead of a steering wheel, pedals and a driver, it has screens that show information about the climate, destinations and nearby places. An autonomous vehicle with 6 LiDARs, 2 radars and 4 cameras instead of rear-view mirrors. This transport system uses machine learning algorithms that run on a high-performance … [Read more...] about A driverless world: Autonomous, 3-D and Cognitive

Unlocking the potential of open data for transport policy-making
Measuring accessibility in cities with mobility data platform APIs (/navigation app APIs) We live in a data-driven world where 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is produced every day. These huge quantities of information provide the basis for an unprecedent richness of knowledge if structured and processed. The good news is that many of these data sets are freely available and … [Read more...] about Unlocking the potential of open data for transport policy-making
Esto es lo que la accesibilidad implica en el diseño de políticas urbanas
La planificación del transporte urbano se ha desarrollado tradicionalmente sobre la base de modelos que definen la demanda a partir de la movilidad observada. Estos modelos expresan esa demanda a través de los volúmenes y características del tráfico vehicular, lo cual indican que en la planificación se debe minimizar las congestiones y acelerar los desplazamientos. Pero no … [Read more...] about Esto es lo que la accesibilidad implica en el diseño de políticas urbanas
Challenges to the introduction and spread of autonomous vehicles in the Latin American metropolis
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) seem to be the solution for urban mobility today. For this reason, I would like to discuss its introduction in the Latin American context. In this region there are 68 urban areas with more than 1 million inhabitants. These 68 urban areas together account for more than 200 million inhabitants across 15 countries, bringing together 35% of the region's … [Read more...] about Challenges to the introduction and spread of autonomous vehicles in the Latin American metropolis
