Mobilité, portabilité, transfert, migrations et navigation numériques : un no... - 0 views

  •  
    "n ce qui concerne l'utilisation des réseaux numériques, deux situations doivent au minimum être envisagées. La première est physique : c'est d'une part la zone géographique que parcourt physiquement un individu pour parvenir à se connecter et d'autre part l'aspect physique de l'appareil qu'il utilise pour se connecter et qui abrite ses données personnelles. La seconde zone géographique éligible est l'Internet qui reproduit toujours davantage les objets numériques dans l'espace dématérialisé avec par exemple des disques durs, des logiciels et des émulateurs de systèmes d'exploitation fonctionnant exclusivement en ligne et simulant autant d'ordinateurs virtuels. C'est pourquoi cette communication propose dans un premier temps une approche définitionnelle sur le vocabulaire des mobilités et du nomadisme. La mobilité visible prendrait deux formes agrégées : la navigation sur Internet qui est une forme de déplacement virtuel de l'information et la mobilité proprement dite qui est le fait d'emporter avec soi un outil de connexion au réseau partout et tous lieux. Navigation et mobilité ne doivent pas être confondues, même si une certaine mercatique a longtemps favorisé ce genre de collusions. De plus, tous les ordinateurs ne sont pas visibles et eux aussi sont capables de fabriquer et de traiter de l'information. Une très forte activité souterraine des données migrant ça et là entre institutions, acteurs privés et ordinateurs personnels existe. Ce sont des transferts d'informations, plus ou moins consciemment acceptés ou ignorés par les populations qui les perçoivent comme inévitables, imposés par la société. La mobilité désignerait ainsi trois pragmatiques complémentaires et presque indissociables : la navigation avec Internet, les transferts de données et la mobilité des personnes grâce à des possibilités de communication géographiquement omniprésentes. Navigation, transfert et mobilit

Holograms Could Bring Videogame-Like Navigation to Your Car | WIRED - 0 views

  •  
    "THERE ARE PLENTY of ways to get directions in the car, but most have one big shortcoming. Whether you're using a standalone GPS, in-car navi system, smartphone, the Apple Watch, or even a paper map, you have to look away from the road (you know, that thing you're supposed to be paying attention to when driving) in order to see where you're supposed to be going. So how to keep your eyes on the road and not get lost? One option is the heads-up display. Increasingly common on high-end cars, these devices project things like navigation directions and current speed onto the windshield, so the driver has important information right in their field of vision. It's a technology that's fast spreading beyond this incarnation, though: We've seen screens showing ghost cars for racers, and another that uses lasers to "paint" the edge of a road on the windshield in inclement weather. Then there are these wacky augmented reality concept goggles from Mini. One of the latest gadgets to enter the fray is something called the Navion, from Swiss firm WayRay."

    "Ces flux touristiques croissants posent de nombreux défis aux transports publics : accessibilité d'une des infrastructures les plus étendues au monde, navigation fluide malgré les différences culturelles ou linguistiques, gestion de pics de fréquentation autour de grands événements (EURO2016). Avec 381 gares et un maillage sur tout le territoire, le réseau SNCF Transilien dessert, sous le pilotage du STIF qui organise et finance les transports en Ile-de-France, les points d'intérêts parmi les plus visités : L'aéroport de Roissy Charles de Gaulle, le Château de Versailles, La Tour Eiffel, Le Musée d'Orsay, ou encore le Stade de France. L'usage intensif du réseau par les touristes (¾ d'entre eux) offre une opportunité inédite pour lancer des collaborations internationales entre jeunes acteurs innovants et SNCF Transilien. A la clé, la possibilité d'expérimenter puis de déployer des services et technologies qui répondront aux besoins spécifiques des touristes."

Avec Waze Rider, Google va-t-il concurrencer Blablacar? | FrenchWeb.fr - 0 views

  •  
    "Quelques mois après avoir ouvert son service de covoiturage RideWith, Google vient de lancer sur le Play Store d'Android l'application Waze Rider. Reposant donc sur Waze, la start-up de trafic et de navigation communautaire rachetée en 2013 pour plus d'un milliard de dollars, ce service propose à ses utilisateurs de trouver des conducteurs de voiture prêts à prendre d'autres passagers. Concrètement, l'utilisateur renseigne le trajet qu'il souhaite effectuer. Lorqu'un autre membre du service disposant d'une voiture effectue ce même trajet, il reçoit alors une notification l'indiquant q'un covoiturage est possible. Le paiement reversé par le passager permet alors de couvrir une partie des coûts du voyage. Il ne s'agit donc pas d'un service de chauffeurs professionnels, mais bien de covoiturage. "

Unmasked! The Mexico City superhero wrestling for pedestrians' rights | Cities | The Gu... - 0 views

  • The traffic light turns red at the corner of Avenida Juárez and Eje Central, the busiest pedestrian crossing in Mexico City, used by around 9,000 people every hour. Tonight, a driver stops his grey Peugeot exactly on the crossing where the masses are trying to pass. His car is now a steel barrier for those trying to reach the Palacio de Bellas Artes. A masked man dressed in black makes his way through the river of people, walking purposefully towards the Peugeot. His black and white striped cape, reminiscent of a zebra crossing, flaps behind him. He goes to the car, flings his cape over his shoulder, and pushes the Peugeot backwards to make space. “My name is Peatónito, and I fight for the rights of pedestrians,” he says, introducing himself.
  • The driver smiles and reverses willingly and eventually the pair shake hands. With the pedestrian crossing again flowing as it should, Peatónito heads back to the pavement where he will wait until he is needed again. The traffic light turns green.
  • The triumphs are tangible. This August, Mexico City’s government presented a new set of road traffic regulations with reduced speed limits on primary routes (that is, slower routes) from 70km/h to 50km/h. The reduced speed limit isn’t a mere whim on the part of the activists; it’s possible to measure how dangerous the streets of the capital are. In Mexico City, 52 accidents in every 1,000 are fatal. In the entire country, the rate is 39 deaths for every 1,000 accidents.

  • Another battle that has been fought and won is the implementation of “Vision Zero”, a series of public policies aimed at eradicating road traffic deaths, which activists worldwide have been backing for years.
  • The Netherlands, Sweden and the UK are among the pioneering countries to adopt Vision Zero (the first two just under 20 years ago). Then came US cities like Chicago, New York, Boston, San Francisco, and eight more. In Mexico, the initiative has been taken up – at least as a point of discussion – in Torreón, an industrial city in the state of Coahuila, and in Mexico City.
  • If today pedestrians are at the centre of Mexico City’s new road traffic regulations – having relegated cars from the top of the agenda – it is in large part the result of years of activism influencing the city’s policies on road traffic safety.

Imagining the Driverless City - Urban Land Magazine - 0 views

  •  
    "On a 32-acre (13 ha) site in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a radically new type of metropolis is taking shape. Mcity, as it is called, is a place where transportation consists solely of robotic vehicles that steer themselves without a human at the wheel. The driverless cars must navigate several miles of an urban street grid-complete with traffic lights, intersections, bike lanes, pedestrian crosswalks, and tunnels-and rely upon software, wireless communications, and sensor technology to get to and from their destinations while avoiding collisions with pedestrians and other robotic vehicles. Granted, Mcity is just a simulation; the buildings are just facades, and the inhabitants who unexpectedly step off curbs are just mechanized mannequins. "It's pretty minimalistic," admits Jonathan Levine, a University of Michigan professor of architecture and urban planning. "You wouldn't mistake it for a movie set, let alone a real city." But even so, researchers at the university's Mobility Transformation Center have designed the facility to offer a realistic test of how driverless cars might function amid the daunting complexity of a dense urban environment. It is preparation for a future that is fast approaching."

Going electric: Celebrating Japan's powerful e-bikes | The Japan Times - 0 views

  •  
    "In fact, electric bikes have become as commonplace as, well, bicycles themselves. Yet, when it comes to electric vehicles, the car industry captures most of the headlines, as automakers such as Telsa and Nissan push technology beyond combustion engines. However, the number of electric cars on the roads - about 2 million worldwide - is dwarfed by the number of electric bikes that are in circulation. Navigant Research estimates that annual global sales of electric bikes are expected to reach 40 million by 2023. China, which has for decades been leading the electric bike market, accounts for about 80 percent of all electric bicycles sold."

Mobility of the Future | MIT Energy Initiative - 0 views

  •  
    "MITEI's three-year Mobility of the Future study explored the major factors that will affect the evolution of personal mobility through 2050. Using a scenario-based approach, the diverse study team of MIT faculty, researchers, and students examined how different factors will shape the future of personal mobility at different scales, from global and national markets to policy and mobility choices at the city and individual levels. The study team's report, Insights into Future Mobility, presents results and findings to help stakeholders anticipate and navigate the challenges that lie ahead. The study was organized into five main areas of inquiry, each of which focused on a particular aspect or set of influences on the future landscape for personal mobility: The potential impact of climate change policies on global fleet composition, fuel consumption, fuel prices, and economic output The outlook for vehicle ownership and travel, with a focus on the world's two largest light-duty vehicle markets-the U.S. and China Characteristics of alternative vehicle powertrains and fuels that could affect their future market share Infrastructure considerations for charging and fueling, particularly as they affect future demand for electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles The future of personal mobility in urban areas, with a focus on the potentially disruptive role of autonomous vehicles and ride-hailing services"

    "Toutes les villes sont concernées. Le graphisme remarquable, que l'on doit à Laurent Nison et Bruno Adèle, ainsi que la navigation fluide, montrent le succès rencontré par le Baromètre, à tout le moins en milieu urbain. La plupart des points lumineux apparaissent en ville, mais dans toutes les sortes de villes: agglomérations moyennes, banlieues,  cœurs de métropoles, stations touristiques, petites localités, conurbations. Les itinéraires de cyclotourisme, Loire à vélo ou Via Rhôna, ou encore les pistes de l'île de Ré, sont moins concernés: il s'agit bien d'une évaluation de la pratique quotidienne et non occasionnelle. Un enjeu de sécurité routière. L'enquête est inédite par son ampleur et sa précision. Ses très nombreux enseignements seront scrutés à la loupe par les militants associatifs, les agents des collectivités, les élus, les spécialistes de la sécurité routière, les chercheurs, mais aussi par ceux qui voudraient se mettre en selle, et qui aimeraient savoir quel itinéraire il veut mieux emprunter."

Traffic Circles Are Everywhere in France. Not Everyone Is Happy. - The New York Times - 0 views

  •  
    "Traffic circles are ubiquitous in France, accepted as safer than traditional intersections. But they have also become an emblem of the country's ailments, from urban sprawl to inequality. France loves its roundabouts. They are ubiquitous throughout the country, including in Abbeville, a city of about 25,000. Credit...Aurelien Breeden/The New York Times By Aurelien Breeden Dec. 25, 2019 ABBEVILLE, France - Every day, about 65,000 vehicles cruise through the center of Abbeville, passing by its Gothic church, City Hall and rows of red brick houses, with many drivers on their way to the English Channel about a dozen miles away. But they never stop for a red light. None exist in this town of about 25,000 people. Instead, drivers bank, swerve and loop their way through traffic circle after traffic circle. Their ubiquity in Abbeville is an extreme example of France's unabashed embrace of the roundabout, found in abundance throughout the country and widely credited for making roads safer and less clogged. Even in Abbeville, on a recent morning, workers in fluorescent orange vests and hard hats were breaking ground on yet another traffic circle, as cars were backed up by the construction. Roundabouts played a central role in the Yellow Vests protests, when demonstrators occupied hundreds of the nation's roundabouts, blocking traffic as a way to demonstrate against a despised fuel tax increase in particular and a growing sense of inequality in general. But France's relationship with them has in some ways soured, their very pervasiveness making them a convenient scapegoat for many of France's ills, real or perceived. Pierre Vermeren, a French historian writing in Le Figaro last year, said roundabouts were a "symbol of ugly France" and the "emblem of French malaise." There are no official statistics, but estimates of the total number of traffic circles in France range from 20,000 to 50,000. In the United States - about 18 times bigger and five

Pokémon Go Has Created a New Kind of Flâneur - CityLab - 0 views

    "For better or for worse, the Pokémon Go player is a new kind of flâneur-that French literary term for those who stroll city streets with no aim but to gather observations and ideas. With that, we took inspiration from a famous passage in Charles Baudelaire's 1863 essay, "The Painter of Modern Life"-which vividly defined and glorified the flâneur's walks and musings-and from famous artworks of the same period to give an impression of this para-virtual wanderer. To borrow from the game's term for coaching Pokémon for battle, we present le traîneur:"

The Look Up App Reminds Distracted Pedestrians to Walk Safely and See Their Surrounding... - 0 views

  •  
    "Look Up is the latest of Ijeoma's data-driven urbanism-related projects. It uses GPS and wi-fi to detect when a person is approaching an intersection. At that point, the phone starts vibrating, and the home screen lights up with a colorful animation of eyeballs-a very literal reminder to keep your eyes on the road in front of you. (The app lets users choose whether they want to be reminded at each intersection, at every third one, or at random ones.) The number of vibrations and ring around the irises of the animated eyeballs indicate how many car crashes have occurred there."

Pourquoi les plans de métro nous trompent | Slate - 0 views

  •  
    "Mais depuis que ces plans existent, les voyageurs ont sous les yeux des schémas de transport qui n'ont rien à voir avec la géographie des villes et les distances réelles entre les lieux. Ainsi, selon le professeur Guo, le plan de métro trompeur a deux fois plus d'influence sur les itinéraires pris par les voyageurs que la réalité et cela aboutit en moyenne à augmenter de 15% le temps passé sous terre."
