In contrast, the share of transit, non-motorized, and taxicab (including ride-hailing) trips has steadily increased.
Researchers Propose a Fourth Light on Traffic Signals – For Self-Driving Cars
At a traffic light, red means stop and green means go. But transportation engineers are now proposing a “white light,” which would enable autonomous vehicles to help control traffic flow – and let human drivers know what’s going on.
LiDAR technology could improve safety features in vehicles
As of 2022, 17 car manufacturers have announced plans to use or are currently using LiDAR sensors across 21 different models.
Looking at oxygen storage dynamics in three-way catalysts
In light of vehicular pollutants contributing to decreasing air quality, governments across the globe are posing stricter emission regulations for automobiles.
Ceramics that breathe oxygen at lower temperatures help us breathe cleaner air
Although much of the discourse on reducing vehicle emissions centres on electric vehicles (EV), their sales remain low – with EV vehicles accounting for a mere 1% of car purchases in Japan in 2021.
