The summit brought together all of the UTCs whose current focuses\u00a0are in\u00a0safety with an attendance of 70 participants.\u00a0 The objectives included creating a community to highlight requirements\u00a0and domain of transportation safety and for UTCs to get to know each other and leverage one another\u2019s activities.\u00a0 It was great hearing from panelists and their perspectives from government, industry and community. Presentations made by the different UTCs on active and completed research, workforce development and outreach were very informative, interesting and at best, exciting, ranging from emerging technologies, sensors, connected vehicles, automation, crash data, big data, and many more.<\/p>\n

PacTrans Director, Yinhai Wang, gave one such presentation on some of the research projects PacTrans is involved in such as STAR Lab\u2019s DriveNet, unmanned aircraft systems, collision avoidance technologies and collaboration with agencies and private sector such as Microsoft, Verizon Wireless, eCityGovAlliance and others on smart cities regional workshop. The takeaway\u00a0was getting UTCs’ programs aligned with USDOT priorities on safety research. Top on the list of USDOT priorities as named by the panelists on government perspective included: data and systems, human factors, connected vehicles deployment and impact, automated vehicles technology and impacts, safety management systems, and data collection and analyses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
