TechPlan: Planning and Policy for Intelligent Transportation Systems
The University of Minnesota’s Center for Transportation Studies has released a report that explores the results of research on how technology affects decisions about roads, transportation funding, emergency response, and more. The report explores how collaborative agreements can be reached on technology-intensive transportation projects, the effect of technology on gathering public opinion about land use decisions, how social networks affect job-finding (and, therefore, commuting decisions), how school choice decisions impact travel and pollution, and whether online purchasing will replace shopping trips or simply stimulate more visits to the store. https://www.cts.umn.edu/Publications/ResearchReports/pdfdownload.pl?id=1422
