CTS and DSI Workshop
CTS and DSI Workshop
The University of Minnesota Center for Transportation Studies (CTS) and the University of Minnesota Data Science Initiative (DSI) are hosting an event on the afternoon of April 15, 2025, to discuss how big data infrastructure and methodologies might be a resource for current and future transportation research. We would like to invite you to this initial workshop to meet potential collaborators from across the University, explore avenues for meshing different data sources and methods, and to determine if there is interest in exploring new opportunities for partnership with CTS and DSI.
This two-hour workshop, over lunch, will be an excellent opportunity to explore new connections and projects within your work. The workshop will consist of opportunities to both share a brief lighting talk (5 minutes) to cover your work and data methods, as well as group discussions about key areas of potential collaboration.
Our initial list of topics included:
The CTS Accessibility Observatory
Public health - including activity, trauma, crash and safety outcomes
Modeling of transportation data, focusing on freight
Connected and Automated Vehicles
Resilience and Disaster Recovery
We're sure you have other ideas of relevant topics to cover, and we would like to solicit your ideas through this form. The form asks if you are interested in participating in the workshop as well as other potential colleagues that should be invited. Please feel free to invite others who you believe will benefit from the event.
Please let us know if you have any initial questions or feedback, thanks as always for being a wonderful partner, and we're looking forward to exploring the potential of working with DSI.
