The construction industry has been talking about how drones can be used for years, but now we are seeing greater adoption in urban planning as infrastructure spending ramps up for things like infrastructure improvements. In the future, we can expect to see more drones flying high above our infrastructure to identify inadequate road drainage, as one...
Note: this is a post reflecting on one of the modules of my MSc in Systems Thinking in Practice. You can see all of the related posts in this category. One of the examples given about the difference between systematic feasibility and cultural feasibility in the context of change is around electric vehicles (EVs). This is of particular...
Helsinki, Finland: the highly anticipated DigiLog 2 event took place at the Botta Ballroom on 22 November 2023 in Helsinki. A promising day full of insights into the evolving landscape of smart logistics, with special package of eFTI. This event, a follow-up to the successful DigiLog 2023, brought together a wide range of professionals from logistics...
Of course, there are still some technical challenges around Innovative Air Mobility – say, drones with more functions than just fun – but that’s probably not where the biggest hurdle lies. Rather, the bottlenecks we see are in coordination and infrastructure. Who will ensure that all those drones don’t get in the way of other air traffic? And who will...
Elon Musk's Tesla may easily sit atop the electric vehicle throne here in the U.S., but the company has faced much bigger challenges in China – namely more competition from China-based companies.Now, Musk's car company faces a new upcoming challenge. One of China's most popular smartphone manufacturers is preparing to enter the electric car market in...
Abstract Recovering and recharging autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) on a regular basis allows for long-term underwater activities. This research provides a vision-based navigation strategy for AUVs to independently identify and reconstruct the docking station (DS). The proposed framework includes a light beacon detection approach, a filter-based...
posted 2m ago by Shuo Xu, Yanqing Jiang, Ye Li, Bo Wang, Tianqi Xie, Shuchang Li, Haodong Qi, Ao Li, Jian Cao via Journal of Field Robotics The European Union is striving to promote rail as a sustainable, safe solution for mobility, envisioning a unified European railway area to facilitate expansion, technical harmonisation and market liberalisation. Ambitious strategies include doubling high-speed rail by 2030, and establishing nine core transport corridors across the EU. However, the...
The Global Marine Traffic Density Service (GMTDS) map visualizes global marine traffic over the last ten years. The map is designed to support a number of uses, including monitoring fishing activity, monitoring port activity, and environmental and economic activity monitoring. The GMTDS Map has processed hundreds of billions of AIS signals from...

The framework agreement, signed on November...
The Icon of the Seas is due to set sail on its maiden voyage from Miami early next year.
Following the newly adopted European Directive on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), Joost Vantomme, CEO of ERTICO – ITS Europe, shares his insights on the importance of this legislation and what opportunities it entails for the entire industry. He emphasises ERTICO’s unique thought leadership role and gives examples of some key activities which...
You're not dreaming: Tesla Cybertruck is actually available. What "available" means is up for debate, though. At an event in its Texas Gigafactory, Tesla delivered its first Cybertruck vehicles, and revealed the steely SUV's price and trims (hint: the price is way, way higher than Tesla's original estimate). But some of the trims aren't available yet,...
Last October T&E held its board meeting in Madrid. I decided to travel by train. The Deutsche Bahn route planner that I always use for international trains, showed that I could make the trip from The Netherlands to Madrid in one day. Great! However, I could not buy a ticket from Rotterdam to Madrid anywhere, and it took me a full eight hours to...
In recent years, drones have often been associated with war and destruction. By contrast, the EU-funded AiRMOUR project has tested ways in which drones could be used to save lives. In Stavanger, Norway, a drone delivered a cardiac pacemaker to a remote location, while in Kassel, Germany, a drone delivered a tissue sample from an […] The post New guidebook...
Smart mobility refers to the intelligent use of various modes of transportation, such as public transport, car-sharing, ridesharing, walking, biking, and more, to reduce environmental impact and improve quality of life. Smart mobility solutions aim to optimize the efficiency, safety, comfort, and accessibility of mobility services, while minimizing...
It has been enlightening to watch the automotive and mobility industry advance in the past few years. The pandemic exposed a lot in many industries, speeding up transformation in many areas, but what trends are really taking hold?
