London-based mobility data experts Ito World has mapped Hyperloop Transportation Technologies’ (HTTs’) route from Cleveland to Chicago to help the company promote its technology as a solution to tackle congestion and pollution. The route could transport 54, 720 people a day and reduce travel time from 5.5 hours by car to a 28-minute journey.
HTT choose Ito World as one of its partners to help outline the socio-economic benefits of the interstate route. The visualisation was presented at HTT’s civic event
Navigating the future of mobility means approaching AI as a powerful tool that, when wielded responsibly, can help us build transportation systems that truly serve people, says Alex Nesic

The University of Michigan (U-M) is offering use of its new research vehicles as test beds for academic and industry researchers to test self-driving and connected vehicle technologies at its proving ground.
These open connected and automated research vehicles, or open CAVs, are equipped with sensors including radar, lidar and cameras, among other features and will be able to link to a robot operating system. An open development platform for connected vehicle communications will be added later.
