CVI-UTC researchers joined more than 2,000 industry business leaders, manufacturers, investors, researchers, elected officials, policymakers, engineers, and public sector participants at the Intelligent Transportation Systems of America 25th Annual Meeting and Expo in Pittsburgh, PA. from May 31 – June 3, 2015. The 2015 Annual Meeting featured keynote speeches and panel discussions with the industry’s premier thought leaders and rising stars, and provided attendees the opportunity to experience the latest transportation innovations through interactive demonstrations, a bustling exhibit hall, technical tours, and networking events. This year’s theme, “Bridges to Innovation,” provided an excellent forum for CVI-UTC researchers from Virginia Tech Transportation Institute and partners to unveil the Virginia Automated Corridors initiative. “Our goal with the Virginia Automated Corridors is to ensure automated-vehicle developers and suppliers have access to both a robust roadway environment and significant research support to create, test, and deploy systems that are beneficial to users” said Tom Dingus, director of the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute.
