Today’s autonomous vehicles require hand-labeled 3-D maps, but a new system enables navigation with just GPS and sensors.
Study examines how developments in technology, fuel, infrastructure, policy, and consumer preference will drive changes in future transportation.
The project will introduce a fleet of on-demand electric vehicle shuttles that use LiDAR sensors and cameras to measure pedestrian flow, which ultimately helps predict demand for the shuttles.
MIT has set out to reduce parking demand on campus by 10% over the next two years with the launch of the new program, which combines pay-per-day parking for most parkers with free access to MBTA subway and local bus, among other benefits.
We are a team of MIT students building a safe, scalable, and feasible pod for the SpaceX Hyperloop competition. Join our adventure to help shape the future of transportation. Published on Feb 26, 2016
The pod utilizes a passive magnetic levitation system that incorporates two arrays of 20 neodymium magnets, according to MIT Hyperloop's website.
The app, named QualiT, allows individuals to anonymously share feedback with the T. The service is similar to ones provided on Uber and Lyft transportation systems, and provides crowd-sourced data to help improve service.
Beating out a field of more than 100 other teams from around the world, the group of MIT graduate students won the best overall design award for a vehicle, or pod, that will ride inside the Hyperloop, a system of tubes connecting major cities.
