COVID-19 Spotlights Patient Transport Delays At the Border, But We Can Slash Wait Times

September 21, 2020

By David Salgado and Rafael Aldrete There aren’t many worse places to be than in the back of an ambulance. But being in the back of an ambulance in critical condition at a congested U.S.-Mexico border crossing is surely one of those places. Worse yet, being in a car instead of an ambulance – by […]

The Paradox of Public Transit in a Pandemic

April 23, 2020

By Michael Walk During a pandemic, public transit may illustrate the ultimate Catch 22, even as dire conditions underscore the vital need for transit services in many communities. In the widening battle against COVID-19, we’ve been admonished to distance ourselves from each other to lower our risk of contracting the disease or spreading it to […]

TTI Helps Coordinate the CAV Task Force: Connected-Automated Vehicles Are Becoming a Reality

March 1, 2020

Connected-automated vehicles (CAVs) were once a figment of our imagination, something we only saw in science fiction movies; now, they’re becoming a reality. What exactly is CAV technology? CAVs leverage a combination of on- and off-vehicle sensors, cameras and other technologies to connect with other vehicles and infrastructure to help guide vehicles, improving public safety […]

Looking to the Future with the Texas Connected Freight Corridors Project

March 1, 2020

Imagine yourself driving a truck along I-35 filled with perishable goods. You rely on your eyes to predict what you might encounter on the road ahead, though you can’t always see every hazard. Advanced transportation technologies can make the difference, noticing (and reacting to) things the human eye can’t. Mobility, safety, reliability, security — all […]

Texas Cannot Pave Its Way Out of Traffic Problems

January 28, 2020

Some simple adjustments to work schedules could dramatically reduce rush-hour traffic By David Schrank When we drive to work, we’re more than just commuters; we’re data points in a daily test of the laws of supply and demand. And the result is the same every day. The roadway space we want exceeds the space we […]

Just Like the Big Kids: COMPAT Analysis Tool Helps Smaller Urban Areas Gauge Gridlock

December 1, 2019

Roadway congestion in Texas, like the weather, is a relative thing. How you define severe depends a lot on where you live. A sheet of ice on city streets in south Texas might mean it’s a day when schools are closed. The same conditions in the Panhandle mean it’s a winter day ending in Y. […]

Our Concept of Mobility is Transforming — But 3 Roadway Realities Are Unchanged

November 15, 2019

By Gregory Winfree This is not your grandfather’s mobility landscape. Not even your father’s. Not even close. Thanks to the sharing economy, we have more here-to-there options today than we would have dared to imagine a decade ago. And transportation today depends almost as much on smartphones as it does on steering wheels. How we […]

Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility in Austin: TTI Research Examines the Causes of Collisions

September 1, 2019

Austin is a modern, thriving city with a population that enjoys an active lifestyle, including the increased use of nonmotorized modes of transportation. Many appreciate the numerous benefits of active transportation, though the growing popularity of nonmotorized modes can also bring increased collisions involving pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists. “Incidents like these aren’t as common as […]

Coordinating Bicycle, Pedestrian Count Data to Identify Active Lifestyle Patterns

September 1, 2019

Ever looked at mobility from big picture to small details? Imagine a map of Texas. Select a county. Zoom in to a metropolitan view, checkered with count locations for bicyclists and pedestrians. Clicking on a count location also brings up a screen of charts that display bicycle and pedestrian count data at various time intervals. […]

Good News, Bad News: Urban Mobility Report Underscores Economy-Traffic Connection

September 1, 2019

To take the nation’s economic temperature, analysts follow a mix of indicators, like inflation, gross domestic product and consumer confidence. They can now add freeway congestion to the list because if more Americans are working, more of us are also tied up in traffic. That picture is painted clearly in the 2019 Urban Mobility Report, […]

The Last Stop with Greg Winfree — Choice, Convenience and Customer Service: What Mobility Means in a Data-Driven Marketplace

September 1, 2019

Our definition of mobility is changing. At its most practical in transportation, mobility describes the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. But today that’s only part of the story — an artifact of last-century thinking. Today, we’re linked through the Internet of Things, creating opportunities for efficiencies never dreamed of a mere generation […]

New Study Underscores Economy/Traffic Jam Link

August 22, 2019

If more Americans are working, a new report confirms, more of us are also tied up in traffic. The picture is painted clearly in the 2019 Urban Mobility Report, published by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI). Along with illustrating the problem, researchers also stress the same straightforward solutions they’ve long advocated: more of everything […]

Identifying Transportation Solutions That Promote Healthy Aging

June 1, 2019

The quality of life and transportation access are inescapably tied, no matter who you are. But that link is especially critical if you’re among those Americans classified as older. And older is a fast-growing group. The Baby Boomer generation will be over the age of 65 by 2030, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, meaning […]
