How do you get to the train station? If you #bike or use a scooter/e-scooter, you're one of the growing number of people using #micromobility to access #transit networks! Micromobility can connect people with transit stations, thus expanding the transit network. Researchers Beth Ferguson and Angela Sanguinetti from Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis studied Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stations and interviewed community stakeholders to assess micromobility use and barriers to their use.

This week, I had the incredible opportunity to visit the London EV Show 2024, and it was nothing short of inspiring! Walking through the bustling halls, I witnessed cutting-edge innovations in EV technology, from Lotus Flash Charge showcasing their revolutionary flash charging systems to Enepaq's modular battery storage solutions redefining urban energy management. One highlight was testing the NAXEON "I AM" electric bike. With its sleek futuristic design and features like advanced aerodynamics and a quick acceleration of 0-50 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, it’s clear this bike is shaping the future of urban mobility. I also had fascinating discussions with pioneers like the CEO of Devtank Ltd, delving into their open-source hardware solutions for testing and monitoring, and explored the sustainable dismantling practices of EV Breaker. Micro Urban Electric Vehicle's MUEV compact city mobility innovations stood out as practical solutions for urban congestion. The show wasn't just about products but about envisioning a sustainable, electrified future. I'm excited to see how these advancements will transform our industry. #ElectricVehicles #EVInnovation #SustainableMobility #FutureOfTransportation #CleanEnergy #LondonEVShow2024 #EVTechnology #UrbanMobility #AutomotiveEngineering #EVCharging #BatteryTechnology #EngineeringInnovation #Innovation #Sustainability #SmartTechnology #ElectricBikes #EVPowertrain

🚦 Have you heard about the MUTCD? This 1,000-page manual shapes how streets are designed across the U.S. — and it just got a major update. Our 2024 Vision Zero Cities Journal dives into what these changes mean for safer, people-centered streets. While the new MUTCD has some positives, it still prioritizes cars over people. Now more than ever, we need national standards that champion protected bike lanes, pedestrian safety, and transit-first design. Learn why MUTCD reforms are essential to achieving #VisionZero.

As I cycle effortlessly on a traffic-free cycle lane, past an endless queue of single-occupant cars in the middle of the city, I wonder how and why we ever thought it was a good idea to design our cities for cars. When a few hundred thousand people decide they can't be arsed to take public transport, walk, cycle or use other micro mobility solutions, it was inevitable we'd end up here, wasn't it? The messed up thing is that private cars invariably sit for 95%+ of the time doing absolutely nothing. They're a scarily underutilised asset considering how much they cost. Yet our cities are built around them. It's mental. With good public transport and micro mobility infrastructure, there should be no need for most people to use a car around a city, unless you have physical or other needs. Even then, I'd argue the city of the future needs to accommodate. If you're an urban planner or regeneration specialist and you feel the same way, maybe Fyma can support your new initiatives. We'll provide you with insights from existing CCTV cameras that can help validate your thinking, allowing you to design, test and adapt better spaces and initiatives, quickly. #fyma #computervision #urbanplanning #micromobility #futurecity #localauthorities
