2014 National Workshop on Transportation Cyber-Physical Systems
The National Science Foundation will hold the 2014 National Workshop on Transportation Cyber-Physical Systems January 23-24, 2014 at the Waterview Conference Center located at 1919 N. Lynn Street in Arlington, Virginia. The workshop will bring together leaders from industry, research laboratories, academic institutions and government agencies to identify the fundamental issues, and to provide research directions for the development and deployment of next-generation transportation cyber-physical systems. A workshop report will capture the major challenges that must be addressed and the promising approaches that could be pursued. Transportation is an important sector of the economy, and must be dependable, secure and safe. Cyber-technologies aimed at improving the safety and efficiency of transportation must operate in a physical world with a range of unpredictable events. Cyber components can be exploited to violate the privacy of individuals or organizations. Mobility data streams can be collected, analyzed and potentially be fed back for pinpointing bottlenecks and reducing congestion.
