 Upcoming T3e Webinar!
October 11th– Dr. Asad J. Khattak and Ph.D. student Behram Wali of the University of Tennessee will present a Talking Technology and Transportation in Education (T3e) webinar titled "The Role of Connected & Automated Vehicles: How Can Urban Areas Use the Data They Create?". It will discuss the opportunities and challenges for the development and deployment of connected and automated vehicles. It will also present a framework for analysis, demonstrate the use of modeling and simulation techniques, and discuss how higher driving volatility in a connected vehicle environment—such as hard accelerations or hard braking—relates to mobility, safety, and the environment.

Workshop Identifies Community College ITS Education Needs
On September 20-21, the ITS PCB program and partner organization ITS America convened community colleges and ITS industry representatives from across the country to discuss ITS education. They identified several needs, including a uniform measure of competency for ITS technicians that can be adapted to local needs, a stronger framework for communication between colleges and employers, and a plan for training faculty to teach across disciplines as required for ITS education. Proceedings and other materials from this event will be made publicly available soon.
Dr. Aleksandar Stevanovic and graduate research assistants Danilo Radivojevic and Bratislav Ostojic of the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) discussed the test lab they built to investigate high-resolution logging capabilities of traffic signal controllers. They presented on FAU's recent investigation of crowd-monitoring and video feature extraction to collect and process data from pedestrians, bicyclists, and other users of urban transportation networks.

This module describes major ITS applications related to commercial highway vehicle operations, including highway and intermodal interfaces of air, ocean, or rail intermodal freight, and shows how these applications deliver operating efficiencies, customer service quality improvements, better safety, improved enforcement, and greater security assurance.
This course is an introduction to systems engineering for ITS project managers and project staff. It covers technical practices such as modeling, prototyping, trade-off analysis and testing; and management practices such as risk assessment and mitigation, which make up “best practices” in the systems engineering arena. This course is part of the ITS PCB program's core ITS curriculum.
