    Future Streets: Leveraging Autonomous Shared Vehicles for Greater Community Health, Equity, Livability and Prosperity
    (2021-08) Fisher, Tom
    This publication shows the work that the staff and students of the Minnesota Design Center have done to illustrate the nature of AV-ready alleys, local streets, collector streets, and arterial streets. With each street type, an overview provides the existing condition and its AV alternative, with calculations related to planting, stormwater retention, heat island effects, and material costs. There are cross-sections through each street type to indicate the below grade conditions of AV-ready streets and how they compare to now.

    Planning for Disruption: Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
    (Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota, 2019-09) Burga, Fernando; Fisher, Tom
    The future of transportation is inseparable from the future of work. Over the last century, transportation has focused on moving people and goods, but work in the 21st century has started to change dramatically due to vehicle automation, changing consumer patterns, and the rise of virtual retail. These factors will bring profound changes in transportation, infrastructure, and access to resources in the city, including housing, food, public spaces, and labor opportunities. This research project investigated the implications of the forthcoming changes in transportation, mobility, and the nature of work. It focused on the impact of vehicle automation on jobs access and explored the tensions that arise as new vehicle automation technologies are introduced into the streets of neighborhoods with historically disadvantaged residents.
