The International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) has announced Alliance for Transportation Innovation (ATI21) CEO and president Paul Brubaker has joined its advisory board. The appointment helps strengthen the relationship between both organizations.

Last month, Brubaker urged delegates at IATR’s annual conference in Austin, Texas, to embrace a broad view when considering rules for emerging technologies, such as Autonomous Vehicles (AVs).

He pointed out that technologies such as 5G connectivity, faster computing power, and the increasing number of sensors on vehicles and embedded in infrastructure are areas that transportation regulators must recognize when crafting regulations to accommodate AVs.

Brubaker, said: “IATR is a tremendously influential organization, and I’m honored to be asked to join its Advisory Board.”

“The association’s members are exactly the types of stakeholders that ATR21 seeks to form stronger ties with as we continue to support the advancement of technology that boosts safer, more efficient transportation.”, he added.

Cost benefit analysis (CBA) “can’t be carried out with a cookbook”, warns US analyst Professor Robert J Brent. “ You can’t just get out a spreadsheet and fill in the data for all the headings. Each transport CBA should have something that is distinctive, in terms of location (for example, for a rural area), types of user

Giving the keynote speech at this week’s MaaSMarket conference in London, ITS UK president Steven Norris, said: “Don’t underestimate the legislative challenges – which are infinitely more complex than the technical ones. I can’t think of any development in human history which has posed so many legislative questions.” Chief among
