Integrating Active Transport and Infrastructure into Smart Mobility, with Kylie Nixon

In this episode of the Smart Community Podcast, Zoe has an interesting conversation with traffic engineer and transport planner, Kylie Nixon. Kylie is the Vice President of PedBikeTrans - the Pedestrian and Bicycle Transport Institute of Australasia and an Associate in Transport Planning at Arup, and in this episode she shares her passion for active transport and integrating it into our Smart communities. Zoe and Kylie discuss what walking might look like in an autonomous vehicle world, and the need for planning, technology and infrastructure that facilitates accessibility and walkability. Kylie shares some of the projects she's currently working on, including PedBikeTrans and Whole Journey Guide for Accessible Public Transport, and what she's learned about integrating across disciplines, government and industry. They finish the chat discussing what all this transport technology means for our health and wellbeing, and why it's an emerging trend we should be talking about more. As always, we hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.
