Transportation Workshop: March 9-11, 2020

** Attendance for this workshop is by invitation only **

Location

This event will be held at SAMSI, Research Triangle Park, NC.


SAMSI is in close proximity to major roads in Research Triangle Park. SAMSI is most readily accessible from Durham by the Durham Freeway (NC 147) — Exit 7 and/or NC-54 by way of I-40 East/West and is located in the Research Commons complex (building 4501).

Heading west on T. W. Alexander from the Durham Freeway (Route 147), it is the third lefthand entrance into the complex. Park in the first lot you see, in front of building 4501—there is a red sign saying MEMA on the top of the building. SAMSI is on the third floor.


Description

The Intermediate Workshop on Transportation stems from three groups of the SAMSI program on Games, Decisions, Risk and Reliability. Travel time reliability, Railways maintenance and Autonomous Driving Systems. The workshop will concentrate on those topics, although other aspects of the GDRR program, like the computational ones, will be addressed as well.

The workshop will be very operational since almost all the participants will be asked to give a presentation. The workshop will provide a first opportunity to present and discuss the ongoing work within the GDRR program and confront with experts in the field, external to the program.
