City Transport & Traffic Innovation Magazine’s Post

You can read about improvements in air quality from the Bradford Clean Air Zone in the most recent issue of the City Transport & Traffic Innovation Magazine on page 20.

Thank you City Transport & Traffic Innovation Magazine for letting me share my thoughts on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data will impact urban mobility in 2024. In the fast-evolving world we live in, identifying patterns and trends in people travel habits and how they change can be challenging. I believe that mobility data and AI combined together will help distinguish those shifts in travel behaviour quickly, thus helping transport operators to align with people travel requirements faster.

Innovation in cities and city transport are integral to the creation of cognitive cities and smart urban planning. I am posting an interesting and recommended read where I was fortunate to be able to contribute on behalf of Lenovo driving edge solutions. #edgeai #edgecomputing

The first edition of Parking Trend International 2024 is now available as e-paper, delivering the latest updates on the European parking industry and EPA developments: EPA is excited to contribute to the summit sessions to this year's Intertraffic Amsterdam with the ‘EPA Parking Day’ on April 17 and will address urban mobility challenges and smart parking. Peter Dingemans gives an overview of the latest progress made by the EPA Working Group on Electric Vehicles and Fire Safety. Welmoed Neijmeijer (Eurotran Conseil) provides insight about the proposal of the European Commission to establish a European Parking Card (EPC) for people with disabilities and informs about changes that the new Directive will bring. EPA Executive Director Tom Antonissen highlights the partnership between EPA and POLIS Network, marked by the recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding. Plus, the EPA aisbl reaches a significant milestone in Brussels and achieves legal confirmation, as shared by EPA Vice President Michael Kesseler in the editorial letter.

Plan has merit but no more than 2 busgates. Many cars passing through city comming from outside city boundary & many would use option of P&R. RedCow-Luas could have a multistory P&R of 3k spaces rather than just 300 spaces today & similar on new Lucan Luas stations. Kiseoge station closed for 12 years but could serve nearby industrial estate with many of the 20k workers travelling out from city & similar living in area. Parisien direct mayor model at polar opposite of citizen consultation as recent plebiscite on SUV parking fee limited to 1.2m electorate in mayor's 20 city arrondissements out of city pop of 10m. Turnout was just 5.7% as all residents & workers excluded from paying SUV fee. 38k Parisiens passed vote in a city of 10m is equivalent to 3k in Dublin imposing their choice on Dublin city pop of 1m - hardly democratic or a model for citizen colsultation. DCC has flaws but it's councillors relect views of those who voted for them so far better to negotiate with them.

Thank you to Mark Moran for the opportunity to share my insights. https://lnkd.in/eAVhyRjq With the UK’s population growing by an average of 0.3% each year space has never been more premium. This is especially true in our cities and more urban areas.    As population numbers continue to grow, so too does the number of vehicles on the roads and concerns about parking. Against this backdrop, achieving optimum parking occupancy has never been more important. As well as ensuring that drivers can find parking quickly and efficiently, it can help to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow. It is the key to making our cities more liveable and improving the parking experience for everyone.    #Parking #Automotive #UrbanParking #OptimumParkingOccupancy

Yesterday Sadiq Khan launched his Mayoral Manifesto. The key pledges of note for London & South members include: - Freeze TfL fares “until at least 2025 and continue to freeze fares for as long as economic conditions allow”. - To create new Land Assembly Zones and set up more Mayoral Development Corporations to boost housing and regeneration projects. - Provide 4G and 5G service to all the London Underground, London Overground and the Elizabeth line by the end of 2025. - For Outer London, he aims to address the poor service and standards for users using non-TfL rail services. This includes exploring greater devolution of rail services and what lines could be better run by TfL. - He suggested he would push to deliver the next generation of major transport projects, including the Bakerloo Line Extension, West London Orbital and DLR to Thamesmead. These projects “could unlock an additional 150,000 new homes and would be a huge economic boost”. - Continue work to safeguard the Crossrail 2 route so that this project can be brought to fruition in the future. - He committed to delivering a fleet of 54 new DLR trains by 2028, developing plans to replace the Bakerloo line fleet, and delivering the new Piccadilly line trains from 2025 - Modernising TfL’s approach to ticketing. This will include allowing concession holders to use their phones as their travel pass, instead of having to carry an Oyster card; working with the government to roll out contactless payment in stations outside London; and working to include National Rail discounts when contactless payments are use.

Why do we always share urban planning and development projects in a way that even locals struggle to visualize? Have you ever looked at a glossy architectural rendering and not recognized your city or any of the people in it? Ever been handed a 30 page jargon-filled booklet at a public hearing and had your eyes glaze over? There's got to be a better way to share spatial proposals with stakeholders and the public so we can spend less time misunderstanding and more time having substantial conversations. AR can be a powerful tool to unlock those conversations faster and bring more people to the table.

#TNToday Happening now - Representatives from Tennessee’s: largest cities - including two mayors and transit authority and sustainability leaders - unpack #smartmobility solutions in the urban areas. Moderated by TVA, this is a great first panel to kick off the Tennessee Smart Mobility Expo sponsored by TennSMART, Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Tennessee Department of Transportation, University of Tennessee System and Tennessee Valley Authority (and more!) Some IRL updates: - Transit is key to economic growth - Diverse energy sources are essential - Creative funding sources are key - Innovation is a tool to solve these challenges - Cities are tackling this mobility shift: fleet management, charging, micromobility, walkability, preferences You can still come out to the Music City Center in #Nashville as this event goes through Wednesday afternoon. #smartmobility #TNGo #economicdevelopment #mobility #transportation #TVA #Nashville #Knoxville #Memphis #Chattanooga #transit #communitydevelopment
