 Martin B. H. Weiss, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs & Research
and Associate Professor at SIS, is serving on a Transportation
Research Board sponsored by the National Academy of Science.
This Board, consisting of 12 members with expertise in
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) development
and deployment as well as standards development and public
policy, will research the ITS standards development process
and make recommendations on how to expedite the development
of said standards. In addition, the Board will
recommend the role that the US Department of Transportation
should play in the development and deployment of such
standards.
Weiss was selected to participate on this Board because
of his interest in the means by which competing companies
can cooperate to develop standards in the communications
sector. The study committee will examine options for
developing and deploying standards that are outside or
complementary to the ANSI framework and to consider experiences
from the communications field. |
