3525 AECOM’s new Mobilitics planning tool removes some of the guesswork surrounding transportation design work including the impact of connected and automated vehicles.

Mobilitics, a free web-based online application, is based on long-range transportation planning and travel demand forecasting to provide comprehensive scenario planning capabilities.

How will roadway design standards accommodate connected vehicles and automated vehicles? Will there still be

a need for parking?  How will – and importantly, when will – connected vehicles affect congestion and travel time reliability?

Mobilitics can help find answers to these major questions by testing multiple scenarios to highlight risks and opportunities for transportation authorities. It allows decision makers to see in real-time, the impacts of decisions related to technology adoption rates, policies, business models, pricing strategies and market-based considerations.

Mobilitics provides sample analytical calculations for 50 large metropolitan regions around the US. This site provides a starting point to inform transportation authorities of the changes they will face and the implications of these changes. In this way, AECOM says that it is helping decision-makers move with confidence.

    For many, Ethernet- and IP-based networks are the cast-iron solution to ITS's communications needs. However, there remain issues from manufacturer to manufacturer with interpretation of what are supposed to be common standards The 'promise' of Ethernet was that different devices such as IP video cameras and traffic signals could be easily integrated into communications networks, simplifying the process of transporting data over copper, fibre or wirelessly. However, although Ethernet devices have come to pre

    When caring about sharing is good business for US automakers
    Although car-sharing and ride-sharing could drastically reduce car sales, David Crawford finds some US automakers are keen to participate in the sharing economy. Growing consumer interest in car- and ride-sharing, as opposed to outright ownership, and ride-sharer Uber’s recently stated intention to make its brand competitive with ownership on cost, are making the major US automotive manufacturers think seriously about their future sales prospects. Some have already begun exploring ways of entering the field

Jason Barnes looks at the current state of play There is a debate raging in the ITS world over future communications protocols. Asfinag, Austria’s national strategic road operator, has announced it will from 2020 be using ITS-G5 to support cooperative ITS (C-ITS) applications (‘First thin
