Several weeks ago, seven faculty and student researchers from PacTrans attended the American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE) International Conference on Transportation (ICTD) and Development in Alexandria, Virginia. ICTD, organized by the Transportation and Development Institute (T&DI), is ASCE\u2019s flagship conference in transportation and development. This year\u2019s theme was Engineering Smart Mobility for the Smart City<\/em>.<\/p>\n This three-day conference of technical programs featured six plenary sessions which included national leaders from ASCE, T&DI, government agencies, universities, and private industry discussing core conference themes. The program also covered deeper technical content on multiple topics and modes in transportation and development through eight concurrent tracks. Speakers included a unique blend of invited technical experts and academic leaders in podium presentations. In addition, a dedicated poster session provided the opportunity for attendees to learn about cutting edge research in smart cities and smart mobility with direct access to the authors. The program also included a variety of special events such as the Younger Members\u2019 sessions on \u201cThe Best Advice I Ever Received\u201d and a 3-Minute Pitch Competition, along with a wonderful icebreaker reception, T&DI Technical Committee Meetings, and T&DI\u2019s Annual Awards Banquet. The conference concluded with two technical tours, one at FHWA\u2019s Turner Fairbanks facility and one at the Reagan National Airport.<\/p>\n Representatives from PacTrans included:<\/p>\n This is the second consecutive year that PacTrans has had a strong presence at this annual conference. It is a great venue for our researchers to present their work to industry and fellow academics. Next year\u2019s conference will be held in Seattle, WA, and co-chaired by WSDOT Secretary, Roger Millar, and PacTrans Director, Yinhai Wang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Several weeks ago, seven faculty and student researchers from PacTrans attended the American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE) International Conference on Transportation (ICTD) and Development in Alexandria, Virginia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,20,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-conferences","category-events","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5557"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5557\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5560,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5557\/revisions\/5560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_0297.jpg\")
