从超级, Lyft and bike-sharing to smart traffic lights and unmanned mass transit, artificial intelligence is transforming how we get around. 问问安德鲁·邦恩就知道了, an 最靠谱的网赌软件 senior majoring in civil and environmental engineering who's been dubbed the "student transportation engineering expert" by Intelligent 运输 Systems Magazine, 他为此写了两篇专题文章.
"I had sort of an interest in traffic engineering, but it wasn't very strong until I went to the 国际 Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association annual meeting to receive a scholarship from them,邦恩说. "That experience unlocked this whole world of intelligent transportation systems that I had no idea about before the conference."
The conference focused on Mobility as a 服务 (MaaS), which refers to how technology is accelerating the shift from privately owned vehicles to alternatives such as ride-sharing and public transportation. The Virginia Beach native credits his success at that meeting, 是什么导致了这些文章的发表, 到他在ODU学到的社交技巧.
“这一切都是为了建立关系网，”他说. “当我去开会的时候, it was about interacting with as many people as I could, shaking as many hands as I could and just connecting with new people who could offer me opportunities like that."
His first article addressed the ethical implications of intelligent transportation systems when data-hungry tech companies swallow smaller start-ups.
"The most important thing for the MaaS industry right now is that its members prepare for a much more competitive future,邦恩写道. "It is vital that we find a way to preserve the 'coopetition' culture even when MaaS is swallowed by aggressive, 像谷歌这样残酷的成长型公司, 亚马逊和特斯拉."
Bunn's second feature focused on security and ethics. From how a product might infringe on an individual's personal information to how and where that data is shared, Bunn warns ITS companies to be mindful of where consumers may draw the line between privacy and convenience.
"There is an increasing wealth of information available to create personalized transport solutions - and the possibilities are exciting, but ITS companies have a duty to be explicit in explaining what people's data is going to be used for,他写道. "Those currently investing their time and money into furthering MaaS need to prepare for this tidal wave and be ready to ride it."
Published articles aren't the only thing that came as a result of Bunn's networking. He has been an intern scholar with the Virginia Department of 运输 since his sophomore year, which came with tuition assistance and a guaranteed full-time job after graduation.
"I got the VDOT internship through my interactions at the career fair, and that's when I realized how important networking was,邦恩说. "So, it's directly translated from the ODU career fair three years ago to a job in the field that I want as soon as I graduate."
“安德鲁是一个模范学生,警长伊沙克说, chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. "He did what we expect every student in the civil engineering department to do. 他很有攻击性. He went out on his own to find opportunities in the industry to explore and discovered his passion for the field of transportation."
“如果不是因为我的ODU经历, I would never have encountered the opportunities that got me to where I am now,邦恩说. "And there is a very good chance I would not have discovered the passion I have for ITS and transportation."
