MIT Prof. Jinhua Zhao will be delivering this 2-day course in Tokyo, Japan. This course will focus on two forces driving the future of urban mobility: behavior and computation. We use a behavioral lens to examine mobility technologies such as automation, connectivity, sharing, and electrification, and demonstrate the power of integrating behavioral and computational thinking. We observe that travel behavior is emotional, social, and perceptual, and mobility service can be predictive, individualized, experimental, and multimodal.
