FacebookTwitterLinkedInIt is hard to believe that less than a decade ago, the iPhone and the Android did not exist. Automotive navigation was available, even standard in some vehicles, but not fully mainstream. If you were like many people and wanted turn-by-turn directions, you most likely visited MapQuest on your home computer and printed them to bring with you on your trip. Those days seem but a distant memory with the advent of the smartphone and an abundance of mobile apps offering voice-guided navigation.
Mobility
Traditionally, transportation assets have been managed in silos: the state manages the freeway, cities manage the local roads, first responders manage incidents, transit agencies manage buses, and so forth. Connected Corridors changes that. It’s a holistic approach focusing on moving people, not just cars. Expanding the focus to cover the broader travel experience requires agencies to think beyond the automobile and beyond their individual boundaries or assets. Success can no longer be defined by measuring just one component of the travel experience. Connected Corridors sets new, corridor-wide measures of success that take into account multiple modes of travel.
