SUMMARY:Mobility Network presents 'Harnessing intelligence in transportation systems'
DESCRIPTION:If you use a wayfinding app\, if you idle at centrally controlled traffic lights\, if your license plate is read as you get on the 407\, or if the changeable message sign tells you how long it will take you to get across town — then you’ve been guided or governed by intelligent transportation systems (ITS). \nWhat’s next for the AI-based intelligence of intelligent transportation systems? Can ITS ease our way through congestion? Deliver substantial benefits for safety\, mobility\, the economy and the environment? And what does it mean for drivers? \nSpeakers\nBaher Abdulhai is a professor\, the director of the Toronto Intelligent Transportation Systems Centre\, and the co-director of the Centre for Automated and Transformative Transportation Systems at the Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering\, University of Toronto. \nBirsen Donmez is a professor\, the associate chair\, research\, and the director of the Human Factors & Applied Statistics lab at the Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering\, University of Toronto. She is the Canada Research Chair in Human Factors and Transportation. \nAmer Shalaby is a professor and Bahen/Tanenbaum Chair in Civil Engineering\, the director of the Transit Analytics Lab\, and the co-director of the Centre for Automated and Transformative Transportation Systems at the Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering\, University of Toronto. \nModerator\nFlorian Shkurti is an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science\, and is affiliated with the U of T Robotics Institute\, University of Toronto\, as well as the Vector Institute. \nRegister to attend\nRegister on Eventbrite for this event. \nFree. All are welcome. \nIf any specific accommodations are needed\, please contact mobilitynetwork@utoronto.ca. Requests should be made as early as possible. \n\nAbout The Way Forward\n \n  \nResearchers from across U of T bring home the many ways mobility affects our lives in The Way Forward\, a panel discussion series. Join the conversation! \nAll sessions take place on Tuesdays from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. online and are free. Registration is required. \nAn introductory overview will be followed by short presentations\, a moderated panel discussion\, and audience Q & A. This event will be recorded and shared. \nInterested in more The Way Forward sessions?\nSee the complete Spring 2022 schedule for The Way Forward. \n\nAbout Mobility Network at the School of Cities\nTransportation and mobility touch virtually all aspects of our lives. The Mobility Network is a multidisciplinary\, collaborative\, and diverse network of mobility researchers that connects the University of Toronto’s exceptional strengths in data sciences\, engineering and social sciences to address the technological\, social\, environmental and health disruptions facing society globally. Through interdisciplinary basic and applied research\, Mobility Network will identify pathways to more equitable and efficient urban mobility\, provide the evidence and decision-support needed for effective and lasting societal change\, and have profound implications for individual well-being\, resilient\, sustainable and just urban growth and prosperity\, and\, ultimately\, our planet’s future. \nMobility Network is an Institutional Strategic Initiative of the University of Toronto.

SUMMARY:Mobility Network presents 'The Way Forward: Governing transit and integrated mobility'
DESCRIPTION:New mobility providers claim that smart technology and services – self-driving vehicles\, ride sharing – will increase road safety and reduce emissions and that the data produced can reduce congestion by improving traffic flow. \nShared mobility and self-driving vehicles may reduce dependence on personal automobiles or they may worsen traffic and by competing with public transit worsen equality. \nHow should governments steer the adoption of technologies?  How can we generate robust public debate about an issue that will shape our cities and enable our personal mobility? \n  \n\nSpeakers\nTheresa Enright is an associate professor at the Department of Political Science\, University of Toronto. \nElena Goracinova is a postdoctoral fellow at the Innovation Policy Lab\, Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy\, University of Toronto. \nAndré Sorensen is a professor at the Department of Human Geography\, University of Toronto Scarborough. \nModerator\nJudy Farvolden is Executive Director of the University of Toronto Mobility Network. \nRegister to attend\nRegister on Eventbrite for this event. \nFree.
