SUMMARY:Micromobility 2.0 Workshop: Smarter Strategies for Safe Travel
DESCRIPTION:The Micromobility 2.0 Workshop was held on Friday\, March 22\, 2024. The Workshop bridged research and practice surrounding the use of micromobility devices (e-bikes\, e-scooters\, bicycles\, etc.) and how best to address safety\, infrastructure\, and the use of innovative technology. \nView Summary Report \nWorkshop sessions covered: \n\nThe state of the practice and emerging micromobility challenges in New Jersey\nHow to use a Vision Zero lens to address safety for all road users\nInnovative technology related to data collection\, analysis\, prediction\, and limitations/li>\nSolutions to safety issues using social\, infrastructure\, and technological strategies/li>\n\nWorkshop attendees included engineers\, urban planners\, public health professionals\, innovative technology experts and scientists\, micromobility companies\, active transportation advocates\, and local\, regional\, state\, and federal policymakers. \nThe Micromobility 2.0 Workshop was hosted at the James Florio Special Events Forum at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University\, 33 Livingston Ave\, New Brunswick\, NJ. \nContinuing maintenance credits are available for AICP-certified planners who attended the workshop. Click here for more information. \nUp to three (3) PDH credits are available for professional engineers. \nThis workshop was funded through a grant provided by the National Science Foundation. \nFor more information\, email: micromobility@ejb.rutgers.edu \n\nWorkshop Agenda\nWelcome & Opening Remarks\nJames Florio Special Events Forum \n\nStuart Shapiro\, PhD – Professor and Dean – Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy\nJacob Kravetz\, PhD – Science and Technology Policy Fellow – National Science Foundation\nRobert Noland\, PhD – Director – Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center\n\n\nSession 1\nState of the Practice in Micromobility: Evolving Norms and Policies\nThe session delves into the dynamic landscape of micromobility\, focusing on the users\, data\, policies\, accessibility\, inclusivity. As cities evolve\, so do the norms and policies that shape their micromobility-friendly infrastructure such as bike lanes and parking. Learn about the potential for sustainable and efficient urban environments where connectivity and accessibility redefine the way we experience cities. \nClick here to see presentation slides\nSpeakers \n\nLeigh Ann Von Hagen\, AICP\, PP (moderator) – Managing Director and Adjunct Professor – Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center\nIrene Figueroa-Ortiz\, AICP – Policy Advisor – New York City Department of Transportation\nAlex Keating – Head of Policy and Partnerships – Veo\nSimone Gore\, AICP – Assistant Program Manager of Capital Programs – NJ TRANSIT\nRalph Buehler\, PhD – Professor\, Urban Affairs and Planning – Virginia Tech\n\n\nSession 2\nToward a Safer Future: Innovation in Micromobility Safety\nThe U.S. Department of Transportation has put forward a vision for zero roadway deaths and is committed to addressing every aspect of crash risk through a Safe System Approach. Micromobility users are some of the most vulnerable road users and require accessible\, sustainable\, equitable solutions to ensure their safety. This session explores the role of micromobility in Zero Deaths Initiatives (Vision Zero\, Toward Zero Deaths\, and Road to Zero)\, with an emphasis on infrastructure\, geometric design\, and data. \nClick here to see presentation slides\nSpeakers \n\nBronwen Keiner (moderator) – Transportation Specialist – Federal Highway Administration\nAlan Huff – Safety Specialist – Federal Highway Administration\nHannah Younes\, PhD – Post-Doctoral Researcher – Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center\nEli Guseman\, AICP – Senior Transportation Planner – City of Jersey City\n\n\nSession 3: Interactive Learning Labs and Posters\nNavigating the Future: Unveiling the Impact of Emerging Technology on Active Transportation Safety and Inclusion\nInnovative solutions are needed to ensure a more sustainable\, safer\, and equitable future. Workshop attendees are encouraged to explore three (3) Learning Labs that highlight recent advances in technology surrounding micromobility research. Hands on demonstrations\, including virtual reality\, biometric sensors\, eye-tracking glasses\, and LiDAR will be featured. In addition\, explore poster presentations that show how research is shaping the future of urban planning\, engineering\, and computer science. \nEngineering Learning Lab \nRoom 369A: Virtual Reality Demonstration \n\nChelsea Duan – Research Assistant\nShengyuan Feng – PhD Student\, Engineering\n\n  \nRoom 369B: LiDAR\, Sidewalks and Urban Heat Island \n\nJie Gong\, PhD – Associate Professor – Rutgers School of Engineering\, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering\n\n  \nRoom 369B: Computer Vision \n\nJiahao Xia – PhD Candidate\, Civil Engineering\n\n  \nComputer Science Learning Lab \nRoom 253: Use of AI in Rebalancing and Charging of Shared Micromobility \n\nYu Yang – Assistant Professor – Department of Computer Science and Engineering\, Lehigh University\n\n  \nRoom 253: App Development: Predicting Actions when Riding Micromobility Vehicles \n\nYuequn Zhang – PhD Candidate\, Computer Science\n\n  \nRoom 261: Trajectories Prediction \n\nDimitris Metaxas\, PhD – Distinguished Professor – Rutgers School of Arts and Science\, Department of Computer Science; Director – Center for Computational Biomedicine\, Imaging and Modeling (CBIM)\nSong Wen – PhD Candidate\, Computer Science\n\n  \nUrban Planning Learning Lab \nRoom 113: Biometric Sensors: Eye Tracking Glasses and Galvanic Skin Response \n\nWenwen Zhang\, PhD – Associate Professor – Edward J.
