Component

This conference focused on the application of remote-sensing products and services to transportation. The goals of the conference were to improve the understanding of remote sensing among transportation professionals and of key transportation issues among remote-sensing experts and to help facilitate the ongoing communication among all the groups interested in remote sensing and transportation. These goals were accomplished through a combination of general sessions and breakout discussion groups. The conference opening sessions provided background information on the federal programs, activities under way at the university consortia, trends in transportation, evolving responsibilities of state transportation agencies, and recent developments in remote-sensing technologies and applications. The breakout groups were organized around the themes of the university consortia: Traffic Surveillance, Monitoring, and Management; Environmental Assessment, Integration, and Streamlining; Transportation Infrastructure Management; and Disaster Assessment, Safety, and Hazards. A number of common elements emerged from the presentations, breakout sessions, and discussions at the conference. Eight general themes capture these major elements. These themes focus on closing the knowledge gap, enhancing ongoing communication, expanding workforce development and training, enhancing technology transfer, developing standards, encouraging innovative partnerships, defining specific research needs, and promoting innovative thinking.
