Registration is now available for the July 17 Talking Freight Seminar. ******************************************************************************************************************************************** Date/Time: July 17, 2019 1:00 - 2:30 pm ET Topic: The Impact Of Emerging Technologies on Freight Transportation and Land Use Registration: https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/fpd/talking_freight/index.htm Description and Presentations: Various emerging technologies, including freight transportation-related technologies such as drones and automated trucks and non-freight transportation technologies including electric bikes and scooters, will likely increasingly impact and be impacted by freight transportation logistics needs and the related economic concerns in the coming years. The adoption of these new transportation technologies will probably alter both transportation usage and land use patterns, creating significantly implications for the government agencies focused on transportation and/or land use considerations across all levels of government - federal, state, metropolitan/regional, and local. It will be important for governmental agencies to understand and track the implementation of these new technologies in the short and long term. This webinar will discuss both the transportation and land use implications related to the increasing adoption of emerging technologies and examine some of the key considerations stakeholders, especially professionals working at government agencies, need to understand. Overview of Emerging Technology Impacts on Transportation and Land Use - Setting the Stage This presentation will provide an overview of some of the most significant technology developments that will likely impact freight transportation in the future. * Jose Holguin-Veras, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Emerging Technologies and Transportation Considerations This presentation will examine what factors transportation agencies will need to consider in the future with regard to emerging technologies. * Kazuya Kawamura, University of Illinois-Chicago Emerging Technologies and Land Use Considerations This presentation will examine what factors land use governmental agencies will need to consider in the future with regard to emerging technologies. * Catherine Lawson, State University of New York at Albany ******************************************************************************************************************************************* If you have not yet participated in Talking Freight, I encourage you to do so.
