Connected Cities for Smart Mobility toward Accessible and Resilient Transportation
Note: This is a hybrid event. Non-NYU attendees can join the event via Zoom and NYU students are encouraged to attend in person at 6 Metrotech Center, Room 460, Brooklyn, 11201. Due to current NYU
Research Excellence Exhibit 2022 is an annual public event that features exhibits that illustrate the scope of engineering and the applied sciences, and their potential for improving the world. This
We all rely on some form of transportation to access employment, education, health care, and other services. But not everyone has equal access to high-quality, reliable, and safe transportation. Even
“The Pink Tax” has emerged as a term used to describe the higher prices women pay for equivalent products and services: the classic example is that a pink “ladies’” razor
The 2022 NYU Transportation Joint Campus Research Summit seeks to bring together colleagues from New York City, Shanghai, and Abu Dhabi to exchange information and ideas from their current research,
Robust and reliable perception systems serve as the “eyes” of autonomous vehicles. LiDAR is a widely applied perception sensor in autonomous vehicles for capturing 3D geometry information of the environment. However, LiDAR-based perception faces
The FloodSense project, first seeded by C2SMART in 2020, developed a publicly-accessible platform that provides real-time flood information through deployed sensors capable of detecting the presence of water. Designed to
During a public transit service disruption, passengers usually need path recommendations to find alternative routes. In this webinar, MIT PhD Candidate Baichuan Mo will discuss his proposal for a mixed-integer
Traffic accidents are among the leading causes of death for people aged 5–35 worldwide, causing transport externalities and thus unsustainability. At the same time, the introduction of almost fully connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) (levels 3–4 of SAE) is already a reality. Although CAVs go in the direction of smart mobility, their sustainability is still questionable because their deployment in open traffic introduces unexplored risks. The seminar will present how virtual reality and simulation are being used as a tool to replace naturalistic observations in the real-world and their pros and cons, in three different research projects on CAVs safety among which is a European Research Council Grant.

Bus Stop Chatter is a new series from C2SMART which brings transportation students into conversation with some of today's leading mobility companies to discuss innovation, disruption, and possibility in today's smart cities. In this installment, we will be joined by Laura Fox, General Manager at Lyft's CitiBike program, to discuss the role of shared mobility systems, from bikes to taxis, in driving the evolution of smart cities and urban mobility. Laura will share updates and highlights from Lyft's micromobility programming, and discuss bike safety with C2SMART student Suzana Duran Bernardes, followed by an audience Q&A.
