New Center Will Change the Way Artificial Intelligence is Applied to Urban Mobility
ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / January 5, 2023 / At this year’s 2022 AASHTO Annual Meeting, Mobility Insight (MOBI) announced the establishment of the Intelligent Mobility Center. This hybrid physical and cloud-based experience will be a destination for advanced mobility insights that show how next-gen technology can shape the future of mobility. The physical experience center is located at Lake Nona in Orlando, Florida. The virtual experience can be used anywhere with an Internet connection and on multiple devices.
MOBI is a thought leader in the practical application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in urban traffic. Recognizing that an intelligent mobility revolution is underway, and that practical knowledge transfer is essential to fuel the revolution, MOBI has developed the Intelligent Mobility Center (IMC) concept.
“MOBI is developing the next generation of fully operational traffic management as a service,” said Dov Ganor,
MOBI CEO and co-founder. “Managing and operating traffic management centers is a big job that can have a significant impact on the quality of life within a smart city or region. movement throughout the region. They need more than the basics that they need in the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Decision Support that MOBI TMaaS can provide.”
IMC will be a destination for advanced insights in action offering an interactive environment where practitioners and policymakers can learn firsthand how advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools work. can be used to provide better city traffic management and policies. The IMC experience center will be a place where the public can learn more about how we shape our urban environments using new technologies and policies.
“IMC offers a state-of-the-art multiscale and multimodal simulation environment that closely simulates reality for designing and testing urban mobility scenarios that are city or regional scale,” said Dr. Bat-Hen Nahmias-Biran, MOBI ESG and IMC Director. “It considers land use, transportation, and communication networks along with individual decisions at different levels of resolution. We can evaluate network performance measures such as congestion, travel time, energy consumption, and change -or on emissions. Instead of implementing the policy and checking the consequences after the implementation, we can test several scenarios and perform the sensitivity analysis in the simulation environment.”
Within IMC, collaboration partners including the University of Central Florida (UCF) College of Engineering and Computer Science and Ariel University can conduct mobility research and use AI applications with MOBI and other partners.
“The University of Central Florida is pleased to be a partner in the Intelligent Mobility Center initiative, said Dr. Mohamed Abdel-Aty, PE, F.ASCE, F.ITE, UCF Deputy Director, Center for Advanced Transportation Systems Simulation. “We believe that successful use of advanced transportation technology requires effective knowledge transfer and availability of practical learning opportunities. The Intelligent Mobility Center provides opportunities for hands-on learning and knowledge transfer.”
Lake Nona, a hub of mobility innovation, is an ideal destination to build the Intelligent Mobility Center. The community is home to the largest and longest running autonomous vehicle fleet among other mobility options.
“Lake Nona is a living lab where ideas become realities,” said Juan Santos, Lake Nona SVP Brand Experience and Innovation. “IMC advances this idea by providing detailed simulations and scenarios that help us shape the urban environment of Lake Nona as home to multimodal mobility solutions including autonomous shuttles, next next-generation electric vehicles, etc.”
Apart from its physical presence in Lake Nona, the IMC will also serve as the focal point for an online network capable of transferring knowledge using multiple delivery channels to multiple devices. Interactive online training content will be delivered using the latest in immersive learning techniques, guided by instructional system design.
In addition to providing access to the latest technology-driven management and decision-support tools, IMC also enables practitioners to develop a practical understanding of the use of probe vehicle data, location intelligence, and other large-scale sources. of data, within integrated data. set to support better management and decision making. The Intelligent Mobility Center is operated by a partnership including the University of Central Florida, Ariel University Israel, Lake Nona, and MOBI.
