Next Generation Transportation Systems
Evaluating the implications of new technologies, such as on-demand mobility and connected and automated vehicles, on transportation systems
Volker Sick, director of the Global CO2 Initiative, and Victor Li, the James R. Rice Distinguished University Professor of Engineering and E. Benjamin Wylie Collegiate Professor of Civil Engineering, watch as a piece of bendable concrete infused with CO2 undergoes a tensile test. Li’s technology would sequester atmospheric CO2 in concrete.
