InflectionPoints: Mobility (IPM) is a forward-thinking project designed to revolutionize urban transportation by identifying key moments—inflection points—for impactful change.
Our mission
IPM’s mission is to enhance urban mobility by leveraging cutting-edge technology and fostering community collaboration. The project identifies critical moments where targeted interventions can drive significant improvements. By classifying cities into archetypes, analyzing multimodal transport patterns, and using immersive VR experiences, IPM makes complex concepts tangible and actionable.
Transforming urban transportation through technology and collaboration.
Key Components:
Tailored solutions for unique urban challenges.
City Archetypes
IPM classifies cities based on topography, climate, and size. This classification helps tailor solutions to the unique needs of each urban environment, ensuring relevance and effectiveness.
Comprehensive view of current mobility patterns.
Multimodal Transport Analysis
IPM examines the proportion of different transportation modes, such as public transport, private vehicles, and non-motorized transport. This analysis helps identify areas for improvement and promotes more efficient, sustainable mobility patterns.
Experience the future of urban mobility.
Immersive VR InflectionPoint Experiences
Using virtual reality, IPM creates immersive scenarios that allow users to visualize how mobility initiatives from similar places might look in their own environment. This helps stakeholders experience and understand the impact of proposed changes.
Community-driven, practical solutions.
Collaborative Engagement
IPM fosters collaboration between local governments, experts, and residents through workshops, interactive sessions, and online forums. This ensures that solutions are practical and community-driven.
Leveraging AI, VR, and data analytics for smarter urban mobility.
Technology and Process
The project uses AI to analyze vast amounts of mobility data, uncovering hidden patterns and forecasting future needs. VR technology, developed with A-frames and hosted on Glitch, allows users to experience proposed changes in immersive environments. A custom bot gathers data from reputable sources, ensuring data integrity and consistency.
Endless possibilities for innovative urban mobility solutions.
As IPM scales, it aims to become an endless repository of problems and solutions, evolving into a design brief generator where creative minds from all fields can contribute. By leveraging emerging technologies, the platform could continuously generate and refine innovative mobility solutions, transforming urban transportation systems worldwide.
Join us in shaping the future of urban transportation.
