There are I suggest two major principles to keep in mind when planning any major #mobility asset. First, standardization and consistency are critical to ensure scalability. Second, except when they’re not because in the end local acceptance always wins. …lnkd.in/gMtPaR-a
Although very few things shock me anymore regarding the increasingly antisocial behavior of the human population in general, passenger misconduct on #airlines and other #transportation modes must be of particular concern to the entire #mobility community.…lnkd.in/gRdVeWwP
The headline-grabbing saga of the OceanGate Titan is yet the latest data point in a problem as old as #engineering itself—technological hubris and the egos inevitably behind it—creating assets unequal to the operational conditions for which they’re built.…lnkd.in/gSFtzEFb
Urban #transportation is hard. It is particularly so in the US of late as #masstransit ridership gains pre-pandemic have been more than erased. Yet proven models of #mobility have functioned worldwide decades before #TranspoTech existed.to su…lnkd.in/eiA8tEg2
The idea of ‘Smart,’ of technology making #transportation and any number of other domains some combination more efficient, sustainable, equitable and accessible was (and still is) a laudable concept. Yet the buzzword as such now borders on cringeworthy.…lnkd.in/gjZaNFKM
*But not for much longer. The #automotive industry and national #transportation regulatory agencies around the world now stand at a critical junction in terms of the need to ensure standardization for #connectedvehicle and #autonomous driving technology.…lnkd.in/gMJj_ezp
With the #TranspoTech finally getting in touch with reality about the speed, scope and scale of #selfdrivng vehicle deployment, it is time for the US #HSR world (including fixed guideway variants like #Hyperloop and #MagLev) to likewise align expectations…lnkd.in/gstVXuRh
There is no shortage of #TranspoTech -relevant inspirational quotes to be found in literature, history, spiritual texts and countless other places. Today I happened across one when I wasn’t even looking—and in my own pocket: YOU ARE THE KEY TO SAFET…lnkd.in/dHV9Asm7
Ever since the buzzword “Big Data” hit the #TranspoTech mainstream about 15 years ago this supposedly valuable commodity has I would respectfully suggest been subject to frustratingly persistent hyperbole in the context of #connectedvehicle operations. …lnkd.in/grbwP-vN
Competition between #Automtive and #MassTransit goes back as far as these two modes have co-existed, but back when Transit Properties were still privately owned, entrepreneurial operators found subtle and less subtle ways to elevate their curb appeal. …lnkd.in/gZFpApsb
Remember Schoharie. Those following my Posts have heard me invoke this sentiment more than once over the past five years. Today there was at least some measure of justice around the worst US #transportation disaster since the Colga…lnkd.in/g2SQTSrg lnkd.in/g7HjmQSR
It is hard to fathom now in an era where the #Automotive industry is dominated by 14 global #OEMs, and roughly 70 individual brands mostly as subsidiaries of these, that vehicle manufacturing started as cottage industry focused on #mobility where built. …lnkd.in/gekfmHYk
In any entrepreneurial environment the critical objective is always to predetermine what the Next Big Thing will be. In developing and deploying #TranspoTech across #publicprivate lines that window is at least equally small but the ramp up is far longer.…lnkd.in/gsfije_f
Two topics that are now grabbing the headlines are #selfdriving vehicles and #cryptocurrency. Beyond their obvious differences, both suffer from the same critical flaw of detachment from institutions that are necessary to support their existence as such.…lnkd.in/g6b_jMQ8
1951. With much of the world still rebuilding from the destruction of WWII, one of the most iconic and introspective science fiction films of all time, *The Day The Earth Stood Still,* appeared to challenge the notion of human superiority over machi…lnkd.in/gxghUvBN
Although I have been a critic of Personal Rapid Transit in the past, in looking at how both #TranspoTech has developed and concurrently the shift in demand away from conventional #masstransit accelerated by the pandemic, I’m now more optimistic about #PRT…lnkd.in/gW2e9Wg4
As multiple #OEMs and #TierX announce scale backs in their #autonomous vehicle development programs one of many questions around how L4-L5 #ADAS might eventually be deployed involves who (or what) might take over when #selfdrivng capabilities malfunction.…lnkd.in/gdFccip7
#Selfdriving vehicle advocates have long painted the vision of “super commuters” sealing themselves comfortably into #autonomous road pods for productive or restful hours long trips to work. But how realistic is this expectation across any demographic? …lnkd.in/gptZTm8j
Bus. Coach. Jitney. Mаршрутка. Superman. Collectivo. By whatever name they are called high capacity motor vehicles have been an essential part of the #mobilty landscape for solidly 100+ years and their animal-drawn predecessors a century before that. The…lnkd.in/ge9yM57C
So, the Mass Media have finally figured out what my ancestors have known for 413 years. Cradle to grave the Commonwealth of Virginia is the best of all possible worlds. I’m not sure such publicity is a good thing, but the truth had…lnkd.in/eFZW6qms cnb.cx/40eaxK5
