Last month, PacTrans co-sponsored the annual Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Washington chapter conference. During the conference, PacTrans also had the opportunity to host one of the breakout sessions to showcase some of the great ITS research we have been engaged in. Attendees of our session head from four PacTrans PIs. University of Washington Associate Professor, Jeff Ban, presented on Urban Traffic Modeling with Mobile Sensing research. University of Washington Research Associate Professor, Ed McCormack, presented on Testing Unmanned Aircraft for Avalanche Monitoring in Difficult Conditions. University of Washington PhD Student and NSF Fellow, Elyse O’Callaghan, Lewis presented on Private Shuttles and Public Transportation: Effects of Shared Transit Stops on Travel Time and Reliability in Seattle. University of Washington PhD Student, John Ash, presented on Applications and Case Studies of Mobile Sensing for Multi-Modal Traffic.

This was a great technology transfer opportunity for PacTrans researchers. If you would like to find out more about the research that PacTrans is and has been funding over the last seven year, please visit our website by clicking here.
