@hobby_robotics Yes! Dedicating time on the calendar is always a challenge, but if it's not slotted somewhere in the schedule, it's not happening.

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

Question for #TRBAM veterans: how do you find time to act on everything you've learned or ideas/goals you identified during the meeting? Each year I'm energized and excited by the opportunities and then day-to-day happens and capacity and excitement fades... until next year.

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

@skuciemba Great advice! I saw a lot of enthusiasm and heard a lot of great ideas, but prioritizing a couple to act on is a great idea.

@CATT_Lab's Michael Pack demonstrating using #connected vehicles data to support several #TSMO use cases in this morning's #TRBAM @RTSMO Planning for Operations Subcommittee meeting.

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

So far I've attended 2
#TRBAM workshops, 4 committee meetings, and a couple of sessions - all interesting and useful. But subcommittee meetings today are the most exciting for me: focused, actionable, open, and accessible to all.

Why does #TRBAM Tuesday feel like the next Thursday from the previous Wednesday? #trbamtimewarp

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

@3rdDegreeBurns Gnarly!

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

Great to see this workshop happening again this year. Always packed with great innovative research, especially by #TRBAM Young Members.

[Chieh Ross Wang @crosswang]

The #3MT workshop is happening now at #TRBAM! Join us in Convention Center 156 to hear from the #3MT finalists!

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

@ria_kontou doing a great job representing the #TRBAM Young Members and opening doors for them to get involved and engaged.

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

Come meet your Operations colleagues at number 8 tables. Seasoned #TRBAM veterans, including the Section Chair @bertini_robert, are here to welcome you and help you get started.

[TRB @NASEMTRB]

If you're new to the TRB community and #TRBAM, the New Attendee Engagement Session is underway in Ballrooms A and B. It's packed but there are some seats up front. #transportation #research

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

@ria_kontou @CUTCResearch @Camsys Congratulations, Ria! Well deserved recognition.

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

Great workshop so far. Quite a few new ideas and research needs to discuss moving forward.

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

#TRBAM Sunday workshops are kicking off. I would highly recommend a workshop on #Transportation #Data Exchanges at 101 Convention Center. We are exploring federal, state, and private sector views and context around these exchanges.

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

LBS #privacy conversation at #TransportationCampDC shows the complexity of the topic. Consumer choice, legislation and regulation, impact of market duopoly, value and current business models, monetization, etc.

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

@MDSHA Administrator, Tim Smith, covers key components of #TSMO approach in Maryland. He calls out partnerships, such as the one with the @CATT_Lab, as the key to success. #ITSMD

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

@CATT_Lab's Charles Lattimer speaking to a packed room at #transpo2022. Today's topic is #traffic signal #analytics to evaluate intersection and corridor performance using vehicle waypoint data.

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

One major benefit of virtual conferences is that live demos and presentations with screenshots tend to be much easier to see on my own screen than in a giant room with a projector and a small projection screen.

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

Rephrasing some statistics really helps put things in perspective: "7 Americans will die [in a crash] before this [90-minute] session ends." #transpo2022

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

Great session on #transportation #safety at #transpo2022 showing that #VisionZero is doable and that there are practical strategies that can make a difference.

[Nikola Ivanov @umdnik]

The final speaker in this session of #ITSDC is Edwin Mein with TNL USA speaking about geofencing as a way to improve air quality and safety.
