🌟 Partnership Announcement: LYNEports & SkyScape Vertiports Join Forces 🤝 We’re thrilled to announce an #MOU between LYNEports and Skyscape! This strategic #partnership is set to advance the vertiport planning and construction industry, exploring the real estate marketplace for vertiports.  LYNEports will bring their software capabilities for vertiport planning and Skyscape will be able to enhance its current vertiport modular design concepts.  The partnership will initially focus on developing initiatives in the Asia-Pacific region. 🏗️ What’s on the Horizon? -Vertiport Site Evaluations: Assessing and identifying prime locations for vertiports. -Flight Path & Obstacle Clearance: Ensuring safe and efficient vertiport planning.  -Modular Designs & Geolocation Capabilities: Cutting-edge approaches for vertiport architecture and location intelligence. Stay tuned as we pave the way for a new era of Urban Air Mobility. Together, we’re building the foundations for a sky filled with possibilities! #LYNEportsSkyscapeMOU #FutureOfUrbanAirMobility #Vertiport #Architecture #Realestate

Parked shared micromobility vehicles can at times obstruct sidewalks, storefronts, and pedestrian ramps. Designated micromobility parking spaces, such as corrals, are a promising strategy to address these concerns. But important planning questions remain: How much parking is needed, and how can a city navigate the many challenges to installing a dense network of parking spaces?

TODAY we’re back with the team from Toole Design Group, Catherine Girves and Tobi Otulana, who we heard from in our last episode on inclusive transportation, and Leah F. Evans, Homeport president and CEO. For this bonus ‘sode we’re discussing how we can support adding density with robust transportation options, including mass transit like light rail and bus rapid transit (BRT). We talk about tackling our public right of way policies and how we can adjust them to make room for modes like biking and walking. Can we add density without having transportation options already built in for the individuals and families who inevitably need to move from one place to another? Would things like BRT and light rail be viable without first establishing density?

A frictionless future in parking significantly enhances the efficiency and convenience of urban mobility. By reducing or eliminating the need for manual interactions during the parking process, it saves time, reduces traffic congestion, and decreases pollution by shortening the time spent searching for parking. This aligns with the broader trend towards smart city solutions, aiming to make urban living more seamless and sustainable. 🚗 👏

🚦 Reminder: Join Our Free Webinar on Roundabout Design This Friday! 🚦 Isn't it fascinating when you drive through a roundabout? Have you ever wondered how they are designed? Now’s your chance to dive deep into the world of roundabout design with our free webinar, happening this Friday at 8 PM EAT! 🔹 Why You Should Attend: Understanding roundabout design is crucial for creating safe and efficient intersections. Here are some fundamental design principles in roundabout design: 🔸 Human Factor Needs: Appropriate sight distance and visibility Adequate accommodation for design vehicles 🔸 Driver Intuition: Channelization that is intuitive to drivers, ensuring natural lane usage Slow entry speeds and consistent speeds through the intersection area 🔸 Capacity and Clarity: Sufficient lanes to achieve adequate capacity Clear road markings defining lane assignments and continuity 🔸 Vulnerable Road Users: Consideration for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable users Don’t miss this opportunity to boost your knowledge and skills! 📅 Date: This Friday- 05/07/2024 🕗 Time: 8 PM EAT 🔗 Register for the Free Webinar: https://lnkd.in/dAJs_srR Get set to engineer your future with Roadshub. We look forward to seeing you there!

Article - The Road towards a new Urban Mobility System A year ago, Darcy de Jongh conducted research into the development of new urban mobility for TILER, starting from TU Delft's strategic product design. Many conversations with municipalities and shared mobility providers have led to this visionary document. The development of light electric transport, including e-bikes, is erratic and unpredictable. There are many stakeholders, especially in shared mobility. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. With 4 million e-bikes in the Netherlands and a 60% market share of e-bike in the total sales of bikes in Germany, this market is beginning to mature and consolidation is taking place. Dott and TIER are merging, and the city of Amsterdam is committing to the broad deployment of shared cargo bikes. The viable business models remain, and the market is slowly maturing. With the rollout of Hubs for shared light electric vehicles in cities, we are nearing the pivotal moment to establish charging infrastructure for those vehicles. How wonderful it would be if eventually everyone could charge there, and it becomes a matter of course that your e-bike is always charged and ready to go. Curious about the rest of the thesis?

One of CannonDesign ambitions, The Big Rethink, is all about flipping the tables on conventions and embracing the unexpected. SRG + CannonDesign did exactly that when designing two parking garages for a renowned athletic company. These next-generation structures redefine the typical parking experience by prioritizing placemaking and creating substantial spaces for pedestrian and recreational use. By rethinking the design and purpose of buildings like parking structures, we can transform mundane moments into opportunities for inspiration and connection, fundamentally reshaping what it means to navigate our cities and communities. 🚗 Learn more in this piece by Aaron Pleskac. https://lnkd.in/ghdA8vmG
