Announcement
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have the promise of improving mobility, safety, and security, while ensuring energy efficiency and reducing environmental impacts of transportation systems. In ITS, these seemingly conflicting objectives are accomplished through advanced research and development and implementation of state-of-the-art communications, controls, automation, and information technologies in transportation systems.
The 14th IEEE ITS Conference theme is Safe, Secure, and Sustainable transportation, which ensures saving energy and the environment. IEEE ITSC 2011 brings together researchers, engineers, practitioners, managers, and policy makers from academia, industry, and government to share and discuss the latest in ITS R&D results and implememntation strategies. This conference specially includes dedicated sessions at which Government experts and decision makers will share the latest R&D and implementation needs of Intelligent Transportation Systems.
Venue
The George Washington University |

At the heart of the nation's capital on the campus of The George Washington Univeristy, this IEEE Conference provides an ideal setting for exchange of ideas between academic/industry researchers and Government decision makers.
Washington DC offers numerous technical and site seeing opportunities to conference participants. Home to some of the world's best museums, finest dinning and shopping, spectacular parks, and historic buildings in a beautiful metropolitan environment, Washington DC has something to offer to every visitor.
Technical and Special Tours
A Special Technical Tour to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Laboratories is scheduled on the 7th of October, 2011. Two-way transportation will be provided between the Conference Venue (Marvin Center) in Washington DC and the Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center in the nearby City of McLean, Virginia. The bus is scheduled to leave the George Washington University Campus at noon and to return at 5 pm. The tour is to have a three hours duration with special visits to four laboratories:
1- Transportation Operations Laboratory: the Transportation Operations Laboratory (TOL) is a national asset at the Federal Highway Administration's Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center. The TOL serves not only as a laboratory but as a gateway where Federal, contractor, and student researchers can experience a synergy of ideas and experiences.
2- Human Factors Laboratory: the purpose of the Human Factors Laboratory is to further the understanding of highway user needs so that those needs can be incorporated in roadway design, construction, repair, and improvement. All of Federal Highway Administration's strategies for improving safety and enhancing operations throughout the highway transportation system benefit from the appropriate consideration of user needs. Human factors studies consider driver, pedestrian, and special user needs and capabilities.
3- Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory : The Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) is a research facility used to support FHWA's Safety Research and Development programs and other Federal security initiatives.
4- Structures Laboratory: The purpose of the Structures Laboratory is to support Federal Highway Administration's strategic focus on improving mobility through analytical and experimental studies to determine the behavior of bridge systems under typical and extreme loading conditions. These experimental studies may also include tests of bridge systems developed to enhance bridge durability and constructability over time. Data from these studies help upgrade national bridge design specifications and improve the safety, reliability, and cost effectiveness of bridge construction in the United States.
To attend the Technical Tour, please contact Professor Hamdar (hamdar@gwu.edu) for reservation. Seats are limited and special security related and administrative arrangements are needed.
Who Should Attend
Those in ITS research, development, design, deployment, planning, and decision making who are in academic institutions, transportation industry, automotive manufacturers and suppliers, government, local transport authorities, national labs, international organizations, public transport authorities, freight and transport operators, public transport operators, service providers, telecom operators, system integrators, commercial fleet owners, road operators, and motoring organizations and all others who are in the energy and environment sector with an interest in transportation systems will benefit by attending this unique conference.
