TRANSPORTATION IN OUR CITIES IS ON THE VERGE OF AN EXTRAORDINARY
REVOLUTION. New ride services such as Uber are growing, while vehicle
connectivity and automation technology are rapidly developing. But
with rumours and speculation filling the air, city leaders and
planners face a minefield of contradictory predictions and
extraordinary promises for the future of TRANSPORTATION.HERE IS WHAT

transport mobility options - lots to think about." _Glen Koorey,
ViaStrada
THE DETAILS:
This New Mobility Workshop is designed to prepare city leaders,
transportation and land use planners, entrepreneurs, future thinking
citizens, and anyone who has responsibilites in transportation
decision-making for significant coming changes to mobility. The
focus of the workshop is on planning for both short and long-range
evolutionary impacts of ride hailing, Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS),
and vehicle automation from both general and local planning
perspectives in order to prepare cities and communities for
transformation.
The workshop addresses the contradictory predictions and extraordinary
promises, and explores product diffusion models to propose:
* Four sequential 'Automated Vehicle Eras' that we are likely to
live through;
* Two key future mobility markets and the forces encouraging and
discouraging each of them;
* Four immediate responses available to planners and politicians;
* Four anxieties associated with automated vehicles;
* Nine reasons vehicle automation analysts believe traffic
congestion will be tamed, and reasons to think they are wrong;
* Six reasons people will retain vehicle ownership rather than
prefer robotaxis;
* Four performance metrics for managing concessions to private
sector robotaxi fleets;
* And more.....
This workshop is one of a series in regional centres of New Zealand
and Australia. Attending a workshop in your regional centre means
that you will work in a group of local peers to consider the
implications and imperatives of each AV era, and enhance your
understanding of the underlying issues influencing the speed of
change, linked to your local context.
Half presentation and half group discussion, the workshop content and
exercises will shed light on why the urban and infrastructure-planning
aspects of these developments to our transportation systems are as
difficult as they are important. Participants will be guided past
challenges of uncertainty about future developments and technological
innovations to consider actionable solutions that can begin today.
The workshop content is based on the recently released text
book, _THE END OF DRIVING: TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AND PUBLIC POLICY
PLANNING FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES_, (Grush-Niles, 2018, available
from Elsevier
[https://www.elsevier.com/books/the-end-of-driving/niles/978-0-12-815451-9]).
There will be a prize draw for a copy of the book at each workshop:
among all participants who register for early-bird tickets (deadline
30/7/2018). The workshop has been developed in collaboration with
the authors of the book.
