Mobility Network presents ‘Harnessing intelligence in transportation systems’
May 31, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
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).
What’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?

About Mobility Network at the School of Cities
Transportation 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.
Mobility Network is an Institutional Strategic Initiative of the University of Toronto.
