AGRION AGENDA
AGENDA
Smarter transportation planning has
become paramount due to the increasing
complexity of urban environments. An
intelligent transportation infrastructure
comprises of multiple segments including
electric vehicle, traffic management,
charging stations, smart parking and
real-time data management. The key
to smart mobility is the coordination of
these overall systems as whole in order
to optimize the overall transportation
infrastructure. Data from these systems
is collected, analyzed, and then integrated
to not only manage, but predict traffic
patterns to alleviate conjestion, reduce
carbon emissions, and promote safety.
What are the policy and economic issues that
are prompting the progression of smart cities?
What are the main challenges to the growth of
the EV market?
What concerns are raised with the electrification
of the transportation?
What smart solutions are being introduced to
NYC and other urban cities?
