Workshop to Develop a Basic Research Program for Surface Transportation Systems

0092631快速发展的信息技术（IT）、新传感器、无线通信和高科技控制将可能成为下一代交通系统的基础。为了启动进化过程，需要一个面向技术的基础研究计划。该项目概述了一个计划，为发展这样一个计划，围绕一个研讨会，题为“地面运输系统的基础研究计划。“研讨会将邀请二十五至三十名来自学术界及工业界的科技及运输界领袖，共同制订研究计划及草拟研究项目征集书，目的是发展一个为期十年的基础研究愿景，并透过美国国家科学基金会与美国运输部的合作，以二十五年为重点，落实有关计划。”它将包括上述传统上不包括在运输研究中的技术。本项目的目的是从各学科的角度确定科学技术对交通的“影响领域”和影响。本项目的目标是支持提供科学技术的基础研究，以确保：1.利用信息技术使我们的地面运输系统更安全、更可靠、更高效。我们必须充分了解利用资讯科技维持和振兴运输系统对人类和自然系统的影响，以便我们能够利用资讯科技所带来的机会，改善运输系统的表现，以及识别和减轻任何不必要的后果。必须提供知识，以支持“管理”地面运输系统的复杂性和脆弱性。研讨会的成果将包括一份报告，其中记录了拟议的10年研究愿景以及制定此类持续计划的基本原理

0092631Rapid emerging information technologies (IT), new sensors, wireless communications, and high tech controls will likely form a foundation for the next generation of transportation systems. To jump-start the evolutionary process a technology oriented basic research program is needed. This project outlines a plan for developing such a program centered around a workshop titled "A Basic Research Program for Surface Transportation Systems." The workshop will bring together 25 to 30 leaders in technology and transportation from academia and industry to structure the research program and draft a research project solicitation.The purpose of this proposed activity is to develop a 10-year basic research vision with a 25-year focus to be implemented through a partnership between the National Science Foundation and the US Department of Transportation. It will incorporate the technologies noted above that are not traditionally included in transportation research. The objective to identify "Areas of Influence" and impacts of science and technology on transportation from the perspective of those supporting disciplines.The goal of this program is to support basic research that provides the science and technology to ensure the following:1. The use of IT to make our surface transportation system safer, more reliable, and more productive.2. The impact on our human and natural systems of the use of IT to sustain and revitalize our transportation system must be understood well enough that we can capitalize upon the opportunities it presents to improve performance, as well as to identify and mitigate any unwanted consequences.3. Knowledge must be made available that will support "managing" both the complexity and the vulnerability of surface transportation systems.Products from the workshop will include a report documenting a proposed 10-year research vision and the rationale behind the development of such a sustained program
