The Role of Intelligent Transportation Systems in Sustainable Transportation: Issue and Research Opportunities

Wednesday, October 21, 2015

4:00 pm, Livak Ballroom, Dudley H. Davis Center
Reception immediately following in the Jost Foundation Room

Dr. Barth’s research focuses on applying engineering system concepts and automation technology to Transportation Systems, and in particular how it relates to energy and air quality issues. His current research interests include Intelligent Transportation Systems and the Environment, Transportation/Emissions Modeling, Vehicle Activity Analysis, Advanced Navigation Techniques, Electric Vehicle Technology, and Advanced Sensing and Control.

Dr. Barth is active with the U.S. Transportation Research Board serving in a variety of roles in several committees, including the Committee on ITS and the Committee on Transportation Air Quality. He was awarded the TRB Pyke Johnson Award for TRB outstanding paper in 2007. In 2011, he was one of the winners of the Connected Vehicle Technology Challenge sponsored by U.S. Department of Transportation’s Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA). He has also served on a number of National Research Council (NRC) Committees. Dr. Barth has also been active in the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Intelligent Transportation System Society (ITSS) for many years, participating in conferences as a presenter, invited session organizer, session moderator, reviewer, associate editor of the IEEE Transactions of ITS, and member of the IEEE ITSS Board of Governors.
