TRB conducted a webinar on August 26, 2015, from 2:00pm to 3:30pm ET that focused on using information from connected vehicles to provide data for improved operational efficiency. Webinar presenters discussed how telematic information, such as vehicle location, engine diagnostic codes, snow plow operation details, Antilock Brake Systems (ABS) activation, differential wheel speeds, and camera images/pictures are used.
This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Maintenance Equipment. TRB is hosting this webinar in partnership with the
National Operations Center of Excellence.
Participants must register in advance of the webinar, and there was a fee for non-TRB Sponsor or non-TRB Sustaining Affiliate employees. A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who registered and attended the webinar as an individual. This webinar has met approval by the American Institute of Certified Planners for 1.5 Certification Maintenance Credits.
Here are the slides from the presentations. Contact Reggie Gillum at
