Class Description:

This seminar series will provide updates on research in the Roadway Safety Institute's core science, policy and technology areas - human centered design, intelligent vehicles and automation, vulnerable road users, traffic modeling and control, sensors, geographic information systems (GIS), wireless communications and public policy - addressing safety issues from many perspectives. The research that will be presented will cover a wide range of disciplines including mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, human factors, statistics, policy and risk analysis, and computer science. Planning, social, and behavioral issues related to roadway safety will also be discussed.

The seminars are open to those interested in learning more about the interplay of science, technology, policy and transportation. Undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and practitioners are encouraged to attend. The seminars will each stream as a live webinar, and then will be posted to the Roadway Safety Institute website approximately two days after the presentation.

Grading:

All students registered for academic credit will be required to attend a total of ten seminars. Students will be required to prepare a short written report on five of the ten seminars they attend. This requirement is meant to give each student practice in preparing memoranda much like those that are routinely required in professional practice, in research laboratories, and in industry. Reports will be graded on the following basis: Pass, Fail, or Request to Revise.
