Business Model for V2X

2025-08-18T16:44:15-07:00

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology holds immense promise for boosting transport efficiency and safety, yet adoption remains stalled by steep infrastructure costs, fragmented standards, and misaligned OEM incentives. To overcome these barriers, the Mobility Center of Excellence teamed up with the UCLA Anderson School of Business AMR (Applied Management Research) program—engaging MBA students as part of their capstone projects—to explore holistic, sustainable business models that align industry profitability with broad societal benefits. The resulting Business Models for V2X project culminates in a published report and video presentation, offering clear, actionable roadmap alternatives for driving widespread V2X deployment.

Shifting Spaces: Understanding Land Use and Zoning Adaptations for the Autonomous and Shared Mobility Era

2025-08-14T17:30:08-07:00

As autonomous vehicles (AVs) and shared mobility gain traction, there’s an urgent need to quantify their land use impacts and reassess zoning requirements. The demand for traditional auto-serving facilities like gas stations, repair shops, and car dealerships is expected to wane, while the need for new types of spaces, such as fleet servicing centers and storage, will rise. This shift also redefines the layout and size of freight logistics areas to accommodate the integration of AV technology. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for urban planners and policymakers as they adapt zoning regulations to meet the evolving needs of urban landscapes. This research aims to provide concrete data on land use changes and identify zoning adjustments that support the transition towards a future where AVs and shared mobility solutions are prevalent, helping cities prepare for a sustainable and efficient transformation in urban land utilization.

Stakeholder Engagement Campaign with LA and Austin

2025-08-14T17:32:29-07:00

The successful integration of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) and new mobility solutions into urban environments faces challenges due to the complex interplay of technological advancements, diverse stakeholder interests, and unique local contexts. A lack of coordinated planning and collaboration among key stakeholders can lead to: - Fragmented approaches that lead to inefficient deployments, incompatible technologies, and missed opportunities to maximize the benefits of AVs and new mobility services. - Unforeseen consequences for land use, traffic flow, social impacts, and public acceptance. - Missing opportunities to use new automated vehicles and new mobility to address critical transportation challenges and achieve broader urban development goals. This project addresses this problem by facilitating collaborative, place-based planning processes that bring together stakeholders to develop comprehensive AV and new mobility strategies tailored to the specific needs and priorities of individual cities.

Evaluating Community-Based vs Market-Based Approaches Including Public-Private Partnerships for Shared Mobility

2025-08-14T17:09:21-07:00

A key problem in urban mobility is determining the most effective and sustainable approach to shared mobility. This research addresses the challenge of evaluating the comparative effectiveness of community-based, market-based, and public-private partnership (P3) models in achieving urban mobility goals.
