Application Creep, Grush, Transport Futures 20150917JohnBern
This document discusses two potential paths for the development and deployment of autonomous vehicle technology: feature creep and application creep. Feature creep would involve incremental improvements to individual vehicles, leading to a growing private vehicle fleet and transportation inequities. Application creep would focus on using autonomous vehicles to improve public mobility options through shared, accessible robotic vehicles like shuttles, buses, and taxis. The document argues application creep could provide better mobility as a service, start benefits now, and reduce policy complexity compared to feature creep prolonging car ownership trends.
This document discusses the potential impacts of autonomous vehicles on cities. It notes that AVs could significantly improve safety by removing human error, increase road capacity, and provide new mobility options. However, it also raises challenges around planning, legislation, public acceptance, and generational issues. A key point is that the price of accessing AVs will influence traffic volumes, public transport use, car ownership patterns, and urban structure. If prices are low it could lead to sprawl, but higher prices may concentrate development and constrain vehicle miles traveled. The document argues cities must carefully consider these impacts to shape a sustainable vision for autonomous vehicles.
The document discusses the costs, financing, and accountability required for sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services. It notes that substantial funding is needed to maintain systems but communities can only cover a small part, and presents cost data from different countries. Ensuring transparent cost accounting and involving local stakeholders in financial decisions is important for selecting affordable options and achieving sustainable services.

The Business Case for Connected Vehicles: Executive Summary Andreas Mai
This document provides an executive summary of the business case for connecting vehicles. It outlines that the current personal transportation system is inefficient and costly, both financially and environmentally. Connecting vehicles internally and to an external communications network could help address these issues and create new business opportunities. The benefits of vehicle connectivity include reduced traffic congestion, fewer accidents, lower insurance costs, and new revenue streams for automakers and insurers. Governments play a key role by implementing smart road pricing to capture societal cost savings and incentivize further connectivity investments.
Imagine a world in which people and goods can move with minimum impact on the local environment and climate. Imagine an intelligent transport system with smart infrastructure and smart, connected vehicles powered predominantly by renewable energy, and with enlightened end-users: private individuals and enterprises. Imagine a system that is actually based on user demand. That is what we would like to see.
To put mobility and transport on the track to sustainability, we have to improve energy efficiency, switch to renewable energy and more efficient modes of mobility, and, most importantly, increase smartness at all levels of the system. In practice, the last point means smart and efficient mobility services, cooperative systems, and intelligent vehicles and infrastructure.
VTT has a toolbox and the expertise to tackle all the key challenges of smart low-carbon mobility. And, to really make an impact, we are cooperating with all the key stakeholders in the field. Let us re-invent mobility and co-create a better future together!

The document discusses the challenges facing future mobility and potential solutions. It identifies 7 major challenges: CO2 emissions, end of cheap oil, pollution, congestion, parking, unemployment, and trade deficit. It argues that future mobility should be shared, electric, and small-scale through solutions like vehicle sharing, ride sharing, public transportation, and small efficient vehicles. The most efficient transport modes in cities are said to be buses, scooters, and bikes due to their small physical footprint and weight per person carried. The mobility of the future is envisioned to be more shared, electric, autonomous, and focus on small vehicles like the PodRide concept over large vehicles like the Tesla S.
Annual Conference on Roads & Highways : Going ForwardInfraline Energy
Twelfth five year plan. The value of roadways and bridge infrastructure in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.4% between 2012-17, to reach USD 10 Billion.
Indian road sector is looking forward to play a vital role in changing the connectivity landscape of the country by creating an extensive network of seamless, world class highways/roads highways which will provide linkages with minor ports, industrial towns and tourist centers.
The Road Development Plan Vision: 2021”prepared by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MORTH) envisaged a modest target of development of 10,000 km length of Expressways in the Country by 2021, against a need of Expressway Network of 15,766 km by 2020. Indian Government is committed that now participation in the Indian road sector will allow Investors to do business in a stable economic environment bolstered by sound and consistent policies and processes as well as an improved governance that will reduce the time and cost of doing business. It has launched major initiatives along with the amendments in old policies to upgrade and strengthen the road sector. The current government aims that the investment in this sector should be cost-effective, responsive, safe and environmentally sustainable. However key issues faced by the sector which should be addressed are delay in project awards, flimsy financial funding, and rigidities in contractual arrangements, land acquisition,delay in dispute resolution and various departmental clearances issues. Challenges are many – overall economic downturn, lack of equity in the market, difficulty in arranging debt, highly-leveraged balance sheets for highway developers.Environmental concerns have been on the top concern for the road sector. The provision of efficient, flexible, safe and clean transport infrastructure can be regarded as a necessary precondition for economic development as it boosts productivity by facilitating the movement of people and goods.
There is an improvement in domestic macro factors which has put India on a relatively stronger footing, Further India needs to bulletproof itself from adverse effects of recent global volatility and also needs to seize the opportunities that have emerged, and are likely to emerge, due to the changing world economic order.This spells out the need to accelerate growth of the roads network in the near future, and thus address the specific challenges.
Infraline is organizing “Annual Conference on Roads & Highways: Going Forward” which aims to focus on the specific challenges which will accelerate growth of the roads network in the near future. Groupthink emerging out of a collective assembly of all stakeholders has frequently been a great way to find solutions to stiff challenges.
This document discusses how microtransit can help cities prepare for autonomous vehicles and address challenges facing public transit. It proposes six policy priorities for city leaders, including leveraging technology to enhance mobility and prioritizing public transit. Microtransit services that use dynamically generated routes could serve as a bridge to autonomous vehicle technology by addressing these priorities in the short term. The document outlines how a public-private partnership approach could help make microtransit services successful in New Jersey by meeting public sector goals for reliability, equity and flexibility as well as private sector needs for stable demand and financial returns.
Ride Sharing, Congestion, and the Need for Real SharingJeffrey Funk
Current ride sharing services are not financially sustainable. Although they provide more convenience than do taxi services, they are experiencing massive losses because they have the same cost structure as do taxis and thus must compete through subsidies and lower wages. After all, they use the same vehicles, roads, and drivers, and only GPS algorithms and phones are new.
They also increase congestion. Just as more private vehicles or taxis on the road will increase congestion, more ride sharing vehicles also increase congestion.
These slides describe new ways to use the technologies of ride sharing to reduce congestion along with costs while at the same time keeping travel time low. This can be done through changing public transportation systems or allowing private companies to offer competing services. For instance, current bus services, whether they are private or public, need to use the algorithms, GPS, phones and other technologies of ride sharing to revise routes, schedules and the premises that currently underpin public transportation. There is no reason a bus should be certain size, stop every 200 meters, or follow the same route all day. Algorithms and phones enable new types of routes in which designers simultaneously minimize time travel and maximize number of passengers transported per vehicle.hour.
The document summarizes a presentation on sustainable urbanism and transit. It discusses how transportation accounts for 40-50% of carbon emissions and promotes investing in fast and efficient transit to create sustainable communities. It also advocates for increasing transit frequency and prioritizing projects that reduce travel time to attract more riders. Additionally, it encourages designing transit systems focused on high ridership areas rather than broad coverage and considering transit-oriented development rather than park-and-ride facilities.
This document summarizes a presentation on achieving a sustainable future through tools like ICT and energy, and the responsibility of actors like societies, businesses, and individuals. It discusses how exponential connectivity growth and scarce resources pose challenges. It proposes dematerialization using virtualization and resource sharing enabled by wireless connectivity. Renewable energy sources like solar and wind are discussed, along with distributed and efficient energy. It argues all actors have responsibility, and changes in individual actions could significantly impact societies if aligned. Education is key to empowering responsible individual actions.

The place of citizenship in the scottish computing curriculummclaughlinkt
Abstract
For the last 25 years computing has been a significant element of the wider curriculum in Scottish schools. Through numerous iterations of the curriculum and changes in the purpose and nomenclature of the subject, there has been a consistent emphasis on the importance of what academics would class as citizenship education. This presentation will explore the rational for including citizenship topics within the curriculum and the continued justification for maintaining its presence. It will also explore the blurring of the lines between the subjects of Computing and ICT; the relative importance of one over the other and the danger these pose in relation to the importance and relevance of citizenship education in the wider curriculum.

Electric Vehicles (EV) use a battery to store the electric energy that powers the motor. EV batteries are charged by plugging the vehicle into an electric power source. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and all-electric vehicles (EVs)—also called electric drive vehicles collectively—use electricity either as their primary fuel or to improve the efficiency of conventional vehicle designs.
Reduced fuel consumption and emissions, optimized fuel efficiency and performance, lower operational cost, rising conventional fuel costs are some factors that make use of EVs advantageous. However, tech and other challenges are in front of EVs to make them popular selling asset among masses. High EV price limit the current customer group to consist of primarily tech savvy and environmental ideologists, however, new research indicates that charging time and driving range are most influencing the purchase decision. Due to scale of production and technological development, it seems likely that there will be significant price erosion related to EV batteries over the next 10 years. This will most likely influence EV prices and increase sales.
Moreover, along with the gradual emergence of EVs- innovators and entrepreneurs are introducing new and visionary business models. Incidentally, EVs are sold on subscription- and rental companies are beginning to include EVs as part of their fleet of program. For example, as integrators or mobility service providers, the EV value chain creates opportunities for newcomers to participate and create value on mobility market. The integrators are the future industry actors, who will handle the integration between EV charging and intelligent home billing etc. Reportedly, ECOtality partnered Sprint Nextel and Cisco to deliver wireless connectivity for charging stations and home energy management solutions/controllers.
This report aims to highlight the drivers and inhibitors that influence the roll-out of electric cars in terms of adoption speed, cost and user acceptance. The report is largely based on the general market data, which has been analysed and correlated with the data from fleet test of electric vehicles which was conducted in and around the metropolitan area of Copenhagen (Denmark). The report also explores an analysis of comparative advantages of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles over EVs.

Driving New Mobility Business Models - DeloittetechUK
The document discusses how the future of mobility is driving changes to business models. It notes that the UK extended mobility ecosystem generates approximately £500 billion in revenues annually across various industries. The emergence of autonomous vehicles and shared mobility will likely result in four future states of mobility that exist in parallel. Autonomous and shared mobility offer significant economic benefits to passengers by lowering costs. This disruption will cause massive shifts in economic value across various industries as new business models emerge. The automotive value chain will also experience changes as technology players potentially manage in-vehicle services and platforms. Mobility as a service providers are exploring business models that orchestrate transportation across modes. More questions remain around the future mobility operating platform and who will process and monetize the
A decades-old dream is on the verge of coming true. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) will hit the road as early as 2017, when several original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and technology companies plan to launch pilot projects or roll out commercial vehicles with varying levels of self-driving capability. Mass adoption of self-driving technology will deliver tremendous economic benefits. But it will also disrupt business as usual for a wide variety of companies, including OEMs, mobility providers, and component makers. The coming AV era raises urgent questions for executives of these companies: What is the cost of these technologies and what are consumers willing to pay for them? How fast will mass markets adopt AVs and how might car sharing and societal shifts impact these introductions? What technological challenges must be overcome to enable fully autonomous driving? Where should OEMs and new entrants focus their R&D investments? And how should players in the AV market address consumer concerns around safety, lack of control, and the risks of faulty technology?
Future of Autonomous Vehicles
The dream of self-driving vehicles has been a long time coming. It is however now within reach and the pressure is on the deliver on the vision. With sustained technology development, increased investment and raising public awareness, there is enormous interest in the imminent mainstream use of autonomous vehicles on the streets.
Although approaches vary from around the world, policy makers and urban planners in leading locations are now seeking to collaborate more with manufacturers, mobility providers, tech suppliers, logistics operators in order to align regulation for testing and mass deployment. And it goes both ways.
The investments being made in autonomy have rapidly shifted from millions to billions, so unsurprisingly those public and private organisations that are providing the funds are keen to ensure that the ROI is credible. There is much to play for and, although there has been substantial progress over recent years, significant questions on safety, social impact, business models and performance are still unanswered.
The Future of Autonomous Vehicles project was undertaken to canvas the views of a wide range of experts from around the world in order to create a clearer, informed global perspective of how autonomy will evolve over the next decade. Beginning with a discussion with government officials just outside Shanghai in July 2018 and ending with leaders from across the US autonomous vehicle community in the hills above Silicon Valley in February of 2020, this project has covered a lot of ground. In all, eight workshops and six additional discussions have engaged with hundreds of different opinions, shared perspectives and built considered future pathways.
This report is a synthesis of many voices and opinions on the likely future of autonomous vehicles. We hope that is useful.
