Gary Riggins Completes Cal Poly Visit
Gary Riggins, a master's student from the Lehrstuhl für Verkehrstechnik (Chair of Transportation Technology) at the Technische Universität München (Technical University of Munich, Germany) completed his 5 month visit to Cal Poly where he was working as a research assistant on the Oregon Department of Transportation project to evaluate the new variable speed limit system on Oregon Route 217. We appreciate all of Gary's contributions to our department and will miss him! We wish him well in his next endeavors!
Nora Chin Master's Defense
Nora Chin successfully defended her Master's project, "Investigating the Correlation Between
Freeway Traffic Levels and Freeway Service Patrol Assists," on August 13, 2015. The project is a partnership with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and their Freeway Service Patrol program. This was the subject of some of my early research back in the 1990s, so I particularly enjoyed re-visiting the topic. I was pleased to serve as a member of her committee along with Dr. Anurag Pande, and committee chair Dr. Cornelius Nuworsoo. Best wishes to Nora as she begins her career!
