Connected Corridor Digest #4

March 7, 2013

WINTER 2013 -- UC Berkeley transportation engineering and planning students, faculty, and researchers from Partners for Advanced Transportation Technoloogy, PATH, offered 32 papers, presentations and poster sessions at the Transportation Research Board's 92nd Annual Meeting, held in Washington D.C. in January 2013.

TRB is one of six major divisions of the National Research Council, which serves as an independent adviser to the federal government and others on scientific and technical questions of national importance. More than 11,000 transportation professions from around the world attend the organization's annual meeting.

UC Berkeley PATH is working together with Caltrans’ Division of Traffic Operations to develop the Connected Corridor program. These are papers, presentations and posters delivered by researchers associated with this project.
