Deployment Workshops and Outreach Events

CCIT fosters collaboration among researchers, government, and industry by developing and supporting key industry events, including a new Deployment Workshops series.

CCIT staff was also instrumental coordinating last year’s ITS of California (ITS-CA) annual meeting and participated in the ITS of America (ITSA) annual meeting.

Deployment Workshops

In the spring of 2007, ITS-CA’s Northern Section and CCIT, in association with the SF Bay Area Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), proudly introduced a joint lunchtime workshop series that focuses on the deployment of intelligent transportation systems in California. Sponsored by Caltrans, the series is designed to attract a broad audience of transportation professionals at public agencies, private firms, and research centers.

Each workshop features introductions to a selected topic from an expert panel, followed by a question and answer section with the
audience. The workshops are free, include a hosted lunch and networking time, and are broadcast live over the web for those unable to attend in person.
The first two parts of the series covered congestion pricing and mobile travel times.

The workshops were held at the CCIT offices in downtown Berkeley and at the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission in Oakland. They each attracted over
50 professionals and have received wide acclaim for the quality of the panels and the richness of the discussions. Please join us in 2007–2008 for more exciting opportunities. We look forward to your feedback and suggestions.

The lunchtime workshop series accompanied other successful deployment events organized by CCIT, such as a day-long conference on WiMax technology and an Interstate-80 stakeholder workshop. Please see the CCIT website for more information on past and future events.

ITSA Annual Meeting

The 2007 ITSA annual meeting offers the intelligent transportation systems
community a chance to discuss significant topics and listen to expert speakers. CCIT staff and students were active participants in this year’s meeting. We worked with the ITS-CA Board of Directors to host an opening night reception at the Roy Rogers Air and Space Museum, and co-hosted an exhibition table throughout the three-day event.
