Big data keeps these entrepreneurs up at night, but in a good way. Self-described “transit data nerds”, the guys at 7868 Transit Labs are working to help build smarter cities through intelligent transportation services. The company’s data analytics solution pulls data from various transportation agencies, analyses the information and makes it accessible through a web-based visualisation dashboard. The goal, according to CEO Dag Gogue, is to optimise the cost of delivering transit services safer and in a more convenient manner for riders.

    Electricity is in the air – and in Toshiba’s new super charge ion battery (SCiB), on display at ITS World Congress. SCiB batteries can be charged in five to 10 minutes, compared with the traditional overnight charging required for applications such as electric buses. SCiB charges even faster than current fast charge batteries, which take 30 minutes. The ultra-fast charging is possible because SCiB can tolerate a high current of 400 amps, almost three times higher than today’s normal fast charging batt
