Solar-powered Automated Transit Networks: The Future of Sustainable Urban Transportation

The webinar will present the concept of solar-powered automated transit networks (ATNs). It will discuss why solar-powered ATNs makes sense as the preferable alternative mode of transit for dense, urban areas; what unique advantages they have; and how they can integrate into existing urban environments. Also to be discussed are: the challenges facing implementation; how universities and students can make a difference in their development and implementation; and what actions interested viewers can take to make them a reality.
