Planning Disrupted: How Technology is Reshaping Plans and Project Delivery
Location: Room - Emerald III
With continuing attention to the various types of disruptive technologies, there has been less emphasis on how disruption extends to project design and execution. This session explores how innovators are changing routines - from planning to actual service. The session first critiques traditional transportation planning’s shortcomings in meeting mobility and livability goals. The second portion delves into research on new planning methods such as performance-based planning and pilots that better incorporate trends, technologies, and uncertainty. Finally, the session focuses on innovative project delivery for mobility that includes micromobility, infrastructure design and management, data needs, and stakeholder engagement.
