With the rapid growth in technology and analytics, there is a critical need to assess and prepare for the impact of these technologies on transportation and development as a whole – from impact on mobility, safety, transit, airports, freight, pavements and other key elements of transportation infrastructure and operations, to the impact on planning, travel behavior, mode choice, finance, economics, land use, and sustainability.
