89th TRB Annual Meeting - January 2010

Happy New Year, members & friends of the VHA Committee,

As you are preparing for your trip to Washington, DC for the 89th TRB Annual Meeting, we are glad to share some information that will be helpful in planning your participation at the various ITS Committee events during the Annual Meeting. The following sessions are sponsored/co-sponsored by the TRB Committee on Vehicle-Highway Automation (AHB30). Click on the "Hyperlinked Function Title" for session(s) of your interest to learn more (such as Description, Event Speakers, etc).

The Chairman of our committee, Dr. Tom Gordon, has also provided the agenda for the Committee (see attached MSWord document) , which will be held on Monday 1/11/2010 10:15am-12:00pm Marriott, Wilson A. This should be a very interesting way of kick-off your TRB week of events.

Also, our friends at ITS America have put together a great compilation of sessions that are of interest to ITS community during this TRB Annual Meeting and have granted permission for sharing with our ITS Committee audience. I found this resource extremely useful and I am positive you will agree with me on that after checking out this compilation.

Please feel free to download this Excel Spreadsheet attached at the bottom of this page and navigate your way through the extensive listing of Sessions, Workshops, Meetings, Poster Sessions, etc. On behalf of our committee chair and the members of AHB30, I'd like to extend our sincere thanks to ITS America for this great resource.
