ITS for Connected Mobility

The 5th Annual mobil.TUM 2013 International Scientific Conference on Mobility and Transport was held June 18 & 19, 2013 Munich, Germany. I was asked to present the keynote address ITS for Connected Mobility which provided an overview of current research efforts toward deployment of cooperative systems for improving transportation safety, mobility and sustainability. Special thanks to Prof. Fritz Busch and his team of students and staff for all of their wonderful organizational efforts and hospitality. I also provided a call to action for researchers to step up our efforts in the coming years to accelerate deployment of ITS technologies in order to reap their benefits. I also served on the scientific committee and chaired a session on "General Concepts and Visions." As part of the trip I also cycled from Passau to Vienna on the Danube river cycle path and investigated its sensor technology.
