Hello!
This is the inaugural issue of the Mobility & Transportation Reading List of Startup Digest.
I hope to provide you on a weekly basis with a variety of interesting reads and videos about current developments in mobility and transportation.
No doubt, this field has already seen some major disruptive startups entering the stage, but also giant players from the IT sector have begun to invest heavily in this area, most notably in autonomous, self-driving car technology. So we will continue to see major changes in the way we move ourselves and goods. This, of course, provides great opportunities for startups to enter the scene and find a niche or hop on one of the bandwagons.
The reading list will mostly but not exclusively contain articles and other resources on some of the following topics (in no particular order):
- autonomous vehicles and other developments in automotive connectivity and technology
- e-mobility
- shared mobility
- public transportation
- urban planning and street design
- bikes and pedestrians
- (big) data in the field of transportation
- drones
- ...
Have fun reading!

Parking is currently again a trending topic for transportation. Most experts agree that managed and paid parking needs to become more prevalent especially in urban areas where more and more public space needs to be allocated to other modes of transport in order to fulfill sustainability goals, emission targets and the new generation's mobility behaviour.
This article highlights a solution from Japan.

Increasing the cycling experience is a crucial factor in getting its modal share up. Many cities around the world are looking into how to best achieve this. While changing and improving the bike infrastructure is one part of the solution, other means should not be forgotten. This innovative solution uses RFID tags for bikes as detectors for traffic light to adjust signal timings. It is being implemented in Denmark.
