A new mobility ecosystem is emerging, and it’s built on choice. Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and 智能城市 can facilitate flexible urban movement through a multi-modal approach that champions shared roads, 首尾一英里连接, 综合街景设计. As CAVs become widely adopted by the public and technology improves, 与汽车有关的后果,如碰撞 and air pollution may become a thing of the past. Alternatively, CAVs may carry significant risks such as increased auto usership. This could lead to more congestion and contribute to urban sprawl, furthering outwards development rather than upwards development. 与滑铁卢大学合作th年的学生, IBI Group developed potential suburban transportation policy recommendations to tackle the challenges municipalities now face in a rapidly-evolving transportation industry.

 

试戴新帽子

As part of the University of Waterloo’s School of 规划 capstone project, two groups of 4th年的学生 put on their “consulting hats” and competed to win IBI Group as a client. 在紧张的最后期限下, the student groups prepared proposals that offered unique approaches to the same problem. 我们评估了他们的建议, 被授予优胜者, and set out to complete the research project with both groups. 在整个学期的项目中, both groups kept up with the tight timelines while IBI staff worked with them to provide guidance and offer suggestions about their work through weekly check-in meetings and draft reports. 学生们研究了案例研究, 不同的CAV采用场景, and developed potential policy recommendations to address the challenges they identified in their research.

作为一名刚毕业的咨询界新人, 准备RFP的练习, 评估建议, and managing teams to complete deliverables on time was a unique and welcomed experience. 我戴上了“客户的帽子”, which helped me grow significantly in my role at IBI Group to understand what clients are expecting in their proposals, 如何管理多个团队和项目, 交付成果的质量. Working with experienced students provided various learning opportunities for both myself and the students through a professional mentorship relationship, while taking a detailed look into how the transportation industry is preparing for the next generation of mobility.

改变城市未来

我们已经知道创建一个集成, multi-modal transportation system that takes advantage of emerging technologies can make walking, 骑自行车, 公共交通, and car-sharing more attractive for suburban communities. 自动驾驶汽车可能是我们今天需要的解决方案的关键, 但可能会创造新的, 明天会有更复杂的问题. 有一件事是肯定的, we need to continue to prepare for how this technology can affect our cities, 交通系统, 以及旅行行为. Working with the Waterloo students only confirmed this knowledge, and made clear the complexities that coincide with transportation planning in this rapidly-evolving world.
