Post and parcel delivery services in cities go green

A new generation of commercial electric vehicles is emerging to reduce air pollution and congestion in urban areas.

Road features that can work out the location of crash sites identified in machine-learning model

Issues such as abrupt changes in speed limits and incomplete lane markings are among the most influential factors that can predict road crashes, finds new research. The study then used machine learning to predict which roads may be the most dangerous based on these features.

Students' self-driving Indy Car grabs headlines as it storms to unconventional victory

The win was secured when the car autonomously broke the rules, preventing its last opponent from overtaking.

Inspecting bridges, buildings and roads: Researchers look to AI guided systems to help with robotic analyses

Recent building collapses and structural failures of roads and bridges are indicators of a problem that's likely to get worse, according to experts, because it's just not possible to inspect every crack, creak and crumble to parse dangerous signs of failure from normal wear and tear. In hopes of playing catch-up, researchers are trying to give robotic assistants the tools to help inspectors with the job.

Why the future of motorcycles could involve accelerating towards use of hydrogen

MIT Electric Vehicle Team builds a unique hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric motorcycle.

How Oulu became the winter cycling capital of the world

Through a series of simple changes, the city of Oulu, bordering Lapland, encourages its residents to cycle through the long, dark, snowy winter. What can other cities learn from the pioneer of winter cycling?
