The Miami Mobility Challenge – M2 – is an opportunity for innovative companies to engage in Florida’s fast-expanding and dynamic new mobility ecosystem — and aids Floridian students in developing their skills and network.

Current transportation infrastructure in Florida has been designed to move cars. Despite considerable efforts to account for other modes of mobility and users, transportation infrastructure is still largely auto-focused and dangerous to vulnerable road users (for example pedestrians and bicyclists), and can be an inefficient use of valuable civic real estate. The Miami Mobility Challenge aims to make quantifiable progress in saving lives while improving transportation / mobility efficiency and solutions on existing infrastructure by leveraging emerging technologies and associated data.

Details:

The Miami Mobility Challenge is aimed at improving mobility on existing transportation infrastructure using emerging technologies and its associated data. Data will be provided by the I-STREET real-world testbed, a collaboration of the University of Florida, the Florida Department of Transportation, and the City of Gainesville. The Challenge is open to innovative mobility companies around the world and to student teams from Florida universities. Companies participating in the Challenge will be paired with at least one student during the application process.
