Infrastructure Program
The Transportation Infrastructure Program provided by DTS
focuses on the analysis, design, behavior, and evaluation of
transportation-related structures. The program will explain the
various topics in transportation infrastructure such as the
design, specification and construction of more durable,
longer-lasting pavements through the full implementation of the
advanced technologies. Expertise includes testing and evaluation
of the effects of materials, construction practices, design
parameters, static/dynamic/repeated loadings, environmental
effects and life-cycle costs.
• Transportation Operations Program
The Transportation Operations Program disseminates the
latest knowledge in operational strategies in transportation
industry. It will discuss a broad array of essential domains,
including highway geometric design, traffic engineering and
operations, human factors and highway safety, transportation
planning, transportation economics and policy, highway
infrastructure management, Geographic Information Systems, and
public transit. This program intends to reveal the advanced
technologies research and their application to surface modern
transportation systems, especially intelligent transportation
systems (ITS)
• Vehicle Systems and Safety Program
The Vehicle Systems and Safety Program will discuss the
design, simulation, and testing of vehicle components and of
vehicles interacting with their environment. It will explore the
scientific methods to examine safety, durability, performance,
fuel economy, brake performance, and alternative fuel systems.
Analyzing issues related to occupant safety and crash-related
injuries will help to create an effective safety strategy for
the professionals and policy makers in the transportation
industry.
