New Mobility Technologies
In recent years, transformational technologies have affected the dynamics of cities significantly. Among these technological improvements, new mobility technologies such as connected and automated vehicles, innovative mobility services and smart cities, are expected to have multi-dimensional impacts as they become more publicly available.
Given the human factor in the automated vehicle system—either as a driver in the very early stages of the automation technology or as passengers in the fully automated vehicles— new mobility technologies will potentially affect citizens health in multiple ways including increased safety, passive health monitoring, faster emergency responses, and mobility for senior citizens and people with disabilities.
New mobility technologies are expected to have multiple benefits for the healthcare industry, too. For example, the data from the in-vehicle sensor could be used by healthcare providers as a more reliable basis for diagnosis, especially for patients with chronic disease, and also for training smart diagnosis systems. On the other hand, there are also discussions around negative impacts of new mobility technologies on the overall well-being of citizens, either by discouraging walking and biking or increasing vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and associated emissions.
Developments such as those described above show great potential for aligning emerging vehicle technology with healthcare needs and also reducing the potential health risks. The performance of sensors and supporting AI data-mining techniques could be amplified by collaboration between advanced driving technology developers and healthcare providers. This could lead to the development of more sensitive sensors and accurate health monitoring systems for CAVs.
Even though this topic is highly valuable for both the transportation and healthcare industry and has many potential societal impacts, it has been under-researched. Considering the IPATH’s vision on providing a platform to help health professionals integrate into transportation systems planning and design projects, the New Mobility Technologies Committees will provide professional insights about the future transportation systems. The potential focus areas of New Mobility Technologies Committees include but is not limited to: Connected and Automated Vehicle technologies, in-vehicle health monitoring systems, connected and mobile health monitoring systems, innovative mobility services (ex: ridehailing, ridesharing, carsharing, microtransit, bikesharing), smart cities, and automated delivery systems. The overall goal of this committee is to familiarize health professionals with emerging mobility technologies and discuss potential collaboration opportunities between the healthcare and transportation industries.
