Our research work at @LiTrans_lab on distributed traffic management featured in Toronto Star.
New technology that focuses on all roads users — not just cars — can adapt to changing conditions to ease traffic flow. Can AI help solve Toronto’s never-ending gridlock? trib.al/Ck1DmNW

What a great opportunity to discuss multidisciplinary research at the nexus of technology, urban systems, and migration.
At #MigrationDisrupted, @billjee shows how @LiTrans_lab is exploring how emerging and disruptive technologies can provide novel solutions to existing and emerging issues in urban systems. Their work at @BridgDivides focuses on how to apply these solutions to migration studies.

An insightful tour this morning of the beautiful @TorontoMet campus alongside @KingaSurmaMPP! We met with students, toured various #engineering & urban innovation labs as well as the rooftop farm, & felt the vibrant energy that orientation week brings to campus. #ONpse 📚
