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.

From Infrastructure to Impact: Advancing Collaborative Research with ScooterLab brings together academic researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and other stakeholders to explore capabilities, real-world applications, and emerging research opportunities enabled by ScooterLab at UT San Antonio under NSF awards #2234516 and #2234517. Building on the foundation established in 2025, this year's workshop focuses on moving from platform demonstration to research execution by highlighting progress from ongoing collaborations, sharing lessons from active projects, and shaping the next wave of deployable studies.

Call for Proposals

To foster new research projects and collaborations leveraging the ScooterLab testbed, we invite academic, industry, and government researchers, engineers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to submit short three-page proposals. Selected proposals will be invited to participate in the workshop, where authors will have the opportunity to present their research ideas to the broader community, explore the ScooterLab infrastructure firsthand, and engage with the ScooterLab team.

Proposal submissions are due by April 2, 2026 (11:59 PM CT), notification is expected by April 8, 2026, and the registration deadline is May 1, 2026. For submission guidelines and further details, please click below.
