Location
160 Willard Building
Three revolutions are underway in urban transportation around the world: vehicle electrification, automation, and shared (on-demand) mobility. How each of these unfolds, and how they interact, will have major implications for transportation patterns, energy use, and CO2 emissions over the coming decades. Recent trends and potential future directions suggest a wide range of possible impacts and a strong need to pursue policies that move these revolutions in societally optimal directions. This presentation covers a range of issues, trends and recent research in this area.
