items of relevance (i was on IUrban data for many many committee refresh cycles, but have had no involvement requested for many years) 1) Im actually flying home to australia from a SHRP2 Expert Review meeting on reliability on 21 june, and so am in an excellent position to comment on links to SHRP2 2 as the initial chair of the metadata subcommittee, I think the links now to the underpinnings of urban dat have weakened a lot- just as data observatories etc are growing (at lats!) 3 im working on governance issues in urban data (wider than just transport) this area is growing in importance around the world (im in europe working on a second stage project proposal for a network t link the different countries with interests right now, but there i no TRB connection at this point) I could of course expand on any of these if they were of any interest to the current committee directions have a good meeting.. as im in th e air for about a day inclduing all 22 june, so I cannot join on gotomeeting this time Marcus Wigan ============================================================================== Dr Marcus Wigan, Personal website http://go.to/mwigan Personal email m.wigan(a)hertford.oxon.org Principal Oxford Systematics, Box 126 Heidelberg 3084 Australia Senior Consultant Demis BV, delft, The Netherlands University of Melbourne - Professorial Fellow, Civil and Environmental Engineering, - Partner, GAMUT, Faculty of Architecture and Planning, University of Melbourne Emeritus Professor of Computing and of Transport Systems, Napier University Edinburgh Scotland Visiting Professor, CTS, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London ============================================================================== > Emily Parkany <emily.parkany(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi! > > I'm trying to send out the following reminders about the TRB ABJ30 Urban > Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee Mid-Year Meeting. > This year the meeting will be during NATMEC in Seattle at 7am > Pacific/10am > Eastern on Tuesday, June 22. > 1) *Please reply* to me, emily.parkany(a)gmail.com and tell me whether > you > will attend in person or via GoToMeeting (a web meeting system).

Chowdhury, Clemson University, presiding Sponsored by Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Computing Applications Committee and Critical Transportation Infrastructure Protection Committee Emergency could develop due to natural causes, such as a hurricane or earthquake, big traffic incidents or even terrorist attacks. Risks to public safety can be minimized through a thorough and effective emergency preparedness. This workshop is targeted towards researchers and practitioners involved in emergency preparedness and management. It will provide useful information on different computing-inspired tools, such as gaming, multiobjective optimization and fault-tree analysis. Sunday, January 23, 2011, 9:00 a.m.-noon, LiDAR Technologies for Transportation Applications Zhong-Ren Peng, University of Florida, presiding Sponsored by Geographic Information Science and Applications Committee; Information Systems and Technology Committee; and Geospatial Data Acquisition Technologies in Design and Construction Committee Accurate 3-D data are essential for many transportation projects, particularly to transportation engineering, design, constructions, and climate change impact analysis like sea level rise and flooding. LiDAR technologies provide a new approach to acquire accurate and real time 3-D geospatial data. This workshop provides the state of the art of cutting-edge LiDAR technologies and applications in transportation planning, engineering, design and constructions. Sunday, January 23, 2011, 1:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m., Nondestructive Evaluation for Bridge Maintenance Frank Jalinoos, Federal Highway Administration, presiding Sponsored by Bridge Management Committee; Structures Maintenance Committee; Field Testing and Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) of Transportation Structures Committee; and Transportation Asset Management Committee This workshop is designed for both practitioners and researchers to address the use of NDE technology as a tool for bridge maintenance and asset management. The use of periodic NDE surveys will be discussed as a means of characterizing deterioration of structural elements over time as well as identifying areas for repair. Therefore, the workshop addresses the use of periodic NDE as a strategy for bridge preservation, as opposed to the standard practice of using NDE for the safety inspection. Sunday, January 23, 2011, 1:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m., Sensing Technologies for Transportation Applications Colin Brooks, Michigan Tech Research Institute, presiding Sponsored by Information Systems and Technology Committee and Geographic Information Science and Applications Committee This workshop continues a series of workshops on practical uses of sensing technologies for transportation planning, management, and operation.
