The Western States Rural Transportation Technology Implementers Forum is now seeking abstracts for the 19th Annual Forum, which will be held on June 18-20, 2024, in Yreka, California. If you are involved with a project you feel would be of interest to other technology practitioners, and would like give a presentation or demonstration, check out the Call For Abstracts page. Speakers must present on actual projects and applications (not research or proposed projects), with a highly technical level of content and transparency regarding what does and does not work.
The Western States Forum welcomes presentations or demonstrations on a variety of topic areas related to ITS design and engineering in rural areas, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Design, engineering and installation of rural ITS field applications, such as warning and safety systems
- Design, installation, calibration and evaluation of roadside traffic detection equipment (loop or non-intrusive)
- Applications of microwave, radio, cellular, and/or 802.11 WiFi communications
- Custom ITS application development
- Innovative applications of commercial ITS applications
- Lessons learned with application and development of standards and specifications (e.g., NTCIP, DOT specifications)
The deadline to submit an abstract is Friday, January 19, 2024.
