Show Notes:
In this episode we dive into a new technology called Pieces of 8 with its inventor, and by the way champion competitive swimmer, Dr. Karl Wunderlich.
Karl is a Fellow for Transportation Analysis at Noblis in Washington, DC, serving as a task leader or senior advisor on numerous research and development tasks related to surface transportation.
Dr. Wunderlich is a recognized expert in the use of simulation and modeling techniques to evaluate emerging technologies and system policies intended to improve traveler mobility and system productivity.
He is also a thought leader in the facilitation of collaborative transportation research through open source and open data communities.
Karl and Ken’s conversation spans measuring performance in a surface transportation system to the essentials of block chain and shared trust that serve as the foundation of a technology called Pieces of 8.
We talk about how Pieces of 8 works and how the system incentivizes manufacturers to build highly reliable autonomous vehicles

Meet Dr. Karl Wunderlich the driving force behind Pieces of 8, a new technology combining blockchain and trust to create collision avoidance and trajectory control to deconflict autonomous vehicles on the road. He has coined the phrase “orchestrated autonomy” to describe how it works. Karl is the Noblis task lead for the Data Capture and Management Program and the Dynamic Mobility Application Program. He directs Noblis support for these two programs in the areas of research planning, procurement, and prototyping. Dr. Wunderlich is the author of the vision documents for both programs, and the principal architect of the organizational structure of the two programs.
Dr. Wunderlich is a noted innovator in workshop and course development. He led two successful efforts to develop NHI courses on modeling and simulation (Planning and Managing Successful Application of Traffic Analysis Tools in 2010 and Work Zone Modeling and Analysis in 2011). The work zone analysis course was developed in both an instructor-led and distance-learning formats. In 2012, Dr. Wunderlich revamped the FHWA Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) Workshop to be more interactive and accessible while at the same time increasing technical depth and complexity. Dr. Wunderlich is recognized for interactive game play intended to deepen the participant experience and underscore key technical concepts. For example, the DTA workshop update includes a successful and accessible game on the topic of traveler route choice that illustrates and reinforces the notion of equilibrium.
Dr. Wunderlich is an active collaborator with colleagues in academia, particularly in the areas of traveler information and performance measurement.
