Ford and MIT project provides on-demand electric shuttles for students Ford is working with MIT on a research project that will deploy a new fleet of on-demand electric shuttles that can ferry students from class-to-class both on campus and on city roads at MIT’s Cambridge, Mass. location. Students can hail one of three electric shuttles using an app on their smartphone, and a driver will arrive quickly to pick them up. The research projects hopes to shed light on pedestrian traffic patterns, using LiDAR and other sensors combined with data including weather info and class schedules to optimize the on-demand service. In addition to helping Ford improve its Dynamic Shuttle project, which currently operates fearing shuttles to employees at the car company’s Dearborn, Michigan campus, the collaboration with MIT will help with Ford’s general aim of exploring different kinds of future transportation under the Ford Smart Mobility umbrella. Specifically, though Ford is also looking to this phase of the project to examine how it can improve detection of pedestrians using lower resolution LiDAR systems than are currently employed in most LiDAR-equipped cars on the road. techcrunch.com
