Worcester Incubator for Innovation teams have created alternative transportation products, services, and STEM learning programs. Meet them at our Innovation Launch!
Smart Healthcare Transit is building a database/application/and web-based interface to improve accessibility to healthcare by efficiently facilitating the scheduling of appointments between healthcare service providers and patients who are dependent on public transportation.
PedSim proposes a new way of quantifying alternative transportation route choices for use in city planning, site selection, and economic development with a tool that can simulate a pedestrian’s or cyclist’s route between two points by using geospatial data, terrain information, and infrastructure information.
STEM Unplugged is developing a middle school curriculum integrating art and science in activities to provide experiential STEM learning that uses transportation-related subject matter as the focus of lessons aligned with NGSS learning objectives.
Wires Over the World is designing an online high school course and competition rooted in the Next Generation Science Standards that focuses on engineering design applied to modern urban aerial transportation technology.
Tasks for Transit is developing a system that records and converts volunteer hours into bus passes which partnering non-profit organizations dispense to individual clients in need.
Secret City Interactive inventively intersects augmented reality and social media with a visually-engaging, interactive experience that has the potential to reshape pedestrian environments by encouraging neighborhood, historic, and cultural exploration and user-shared personal experiences.
Sprezza is a dynamically routed, multi modal system driven by demand and real time information, including factors of geography, traffic patterns, and weather to determine optimal routes, hub locations, frequencies, and modes of transportation within defined communities.
