Heading to an event and mapping out my journey this morning.
There is a bus route outside my door, but the trip will take 50 minutes. The TNC/personal vehicle trip will take 10 minutes. I’d rather take public transit but it’s not worth investing an extra 40 minutes of my time. I suspect a lot of uncaptured potential shared mobility users fit this profile.
This is a problem we have to solve for with respect to congestion and roadway safety. Integrating shared AV fleets into mobility networks — flexible, cost effective, and frequent — is the way to do it.
Absolutely, Alex. And that 40 minutes is doubled since you need a return trip as well. With the demands of children and home life already squeezed into a small fraction of the day, these minutes matter.
Agreed on all fronts Alex. The transit v car time disparity is real. Plus the scaling cost of drivers when adding new runs makes it cost prohibitive. We’re all looking forward to seeing how Beep, Inc. and these Holons start to change the game!
We are celebrating the first use of Cellular Vehicle to Everything (C-V2X) technology to request a green light for passenger vehicles on public US roads.
The 'detector call' application, developed by Applied Information, for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDoT), designed to improve road safety by eliminating unnecessary stops at cross streets at night and to reduce the cost of installing and maintaining detection equipment such as radar, cameras and loops.
We would like to extend our thanks and congratulations to all those involved in the development, implementation, and demonstration of this revolutionary technology at the recent TxDOT Connected Vehicle Innovation Summit in Houston, including Audi of America, HAAS Alert, and Paradigm Traffic Systems,Inc.

The NTC and Morgan State are leading the way on a new generation of connected and automated vehicles.
Check out this article from the Baltimore Banner's Daniel Zawodny to see how we're bringing this transformational tech to the streets of Baltimore.
HELP stands for Hazard Enhanced Location Protocol. According to Michael O’Brien, executive director of strategic development for ESS, HELP is an intelligent emergency communications feature that uses two communication means to make disabled vehicles much more visible to other drivers.
“First is a new, highly conspicuous emergency-based lighting output,” O’Brien explained. “HELP Lighting Alerts increase the visual conspicuity of stationary and disabled vehicles by adding an emergency mode to a vehicle’s standard hazard light system.”
