ScooterLab Workshop 2025

Advancing Research and Collaboration using a Micromobility-supported Sensing and Research Infrastructure
19 May San Antonio, Texas, USA

Overview

ScooterLab is a community research testbed supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), designed to advance research in urban mobility, smart city infrastructure, privacy, security, and environmental sensing. By leveraging a fleet of sensor-equipped e-scooters, ScooterLab provides a unique open-access platform for micromobility-supported data collection and experimentation.

The ScooterLab Workshop: Advancing Research and Collaboration using a Micromobility-supported Sensing and Research Infrastructure brings together academic researchers, industry professionals, policymakers and other stakeholders to explore the capabilities and real-world applications of the ScooterLab developed at UTSA under NSF awards #2234516 and #2234517. This workshop aims to showcase the diverse applications of ScooterLab, inspire researchers to address critical scientific and societal challenges through its infrastructure, and foster interdisciplinary collaborations. The full-day event will feature live demonstrations, research presentations, and discussions on emerging challenges and the research opportunities that ScooterLab facilitates as a micromobility-supported sensing and research platform.
