A new digital toolkit for guiding development in transition to autonomous mobility /.
Today, suburban areas are home to an ever-increasing majority of the global population. Models indicate that the next generation of metropolitan growth will rapidly continue outside of urban cores, where car-based development patterns have served as the dominant paradigm for more than a century. With the emergence of autonomous transportation technologies and the proliferation of new mobility on-demand options, the suburbs of the future offer key opportunities to solve pressing social, environmental, and economic challenges through innovative planning and design.
The NOGAS toolkit uses a unique scenario-based modeling workflow to generate optimized suburban land use patterns, mobility frameworks, and urban design for a future when autonomous mobility options are ubiquitous. The software tools invented as part of NOGAS can be used by cities, planners, developers, and designers to test for increased environmental performance benefits using more than 20 distinct parameters.
