Conversations With Colleagues
Join us for our quarterly information session, Conversations with Colleagues! The Conversations with Colleagues discussion series has three goals:
Share challenges faced by bicycle and pedestrian data “wranglers”
Identify needs for webinars and research on bicycle and pedestrian traffic monitoring
Build the community of practitioners and researchers advancing the field
The format is intended to promote dialog and share knowledge among practitioners through informal discussions around a general topic. Typically, each session has more time devoted to discussion than to presentations.
These meetings take place every quarter on the second or third Tuesday of the month around 2:30 PM EST.
2024 Conversations with Colleagues Schedule:
Tuesday, March 12 - Research Highlights and Needs Statements 101 at 2PM Eastern
Weren't able to make it to TRB? Have lingering questions about the latest research findings? This Conversations with Colleagues session will feature several papers on bike and ped data first presented at the TRB 2024 Annual Conference. In addition to recapping our research needs identified in our TRB Workshop on data fusion, several researchers will provide brief summaries of their work and discuss its implications for our field. Participants will have opportunities to discuss issues in implementing findings from this research. There will also be a brief portion of the session that is dedicated to talking about the research needs statement and how to begin the process.
