This document discusses improving public engagement processes for transportation projects. It notes that typical input models focus on technical needs like traffic flow, while improved processes seek broader public input. Diagrams show how public input can inform all aspects of a project from vision to design. The goal is developing plans that meet business, neighborhood, and visitor needs through partnerships and dialogue. Greater inclusion, trust, and communication are needed so that good projects can move forward.

The concept has helped me plan for Alaçam Municipality(A Samsun district,a Black sea region in Turkey) 2019-2040 General land use plan(Urban project 311,1:5000 scale) and its İmplementation plan (411 urban project,1:1000 scale).
A team of graduate students helped the DLANC Sustainability Committee better understand the impact of transforming small-scale open space. By looking at green alleys in Downtown Los Angeles, we can potentially improve stormwater quality and quantity, air quality, heat island effect, and overall livability.

Project for Public Spaces - Streets as Placesmetroplanning
Fred Kent of Project for Public Spaces (pps.org) made this presentation on streets as places in Chicago on March 15, 2007. Contact PPS to invite him to speak in your city.
Lesson 18 for Grad Course on CSS (from UTCM Report #08-14-03 "Making Mobility Improvements a Community Asset: Transportation Improvements Using Context-Sensitive Solutions")
Placemaking is a way to make your community a better place to live and work by transforming public spaces into vibrant community places. As a place becomes more desirable and welcoming, properties around that place increase in value.
In 2007, the Virginia General Assembly made news throughout the transportation industry when it approved legislation granting authority to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to develop access management regulations and standards. Information about the shift in Virginia’s statewide policy was presented during the biannual Transportation Research Board (TRB) Access Management Conferences in 2008 and 2010. In 2011, VDOT led a series of public information meetings soliciting opinions from the general public and consultant community in order to further refine the statewide access management program. Regulatory changes to Virginia’s Land Use & Transportation program became effective January 1, 2012.
The purpose of this presentation was to update access management practitioners on Virginia’s program and provide insight on our successes and lessons learned with regard to the linkage of transportation and land use.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) around the U.S. have increased

General Accounting Office predicts that road congestion in
the U.S. will triple in 15 years even if capacity is increased by
20 percent.
Traffic is growing about five times faster than the growth in
population.
