Safe-D: Safety through Disruption

Safe-D Researchers to Present at the TRB 98th Annual Meeting – January 13-17, 2019

The Transportation Research Board (TRB) 98th Annual Meeting will be held January 13–17, 2019, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, in Washington, D.C. The information-packed program is expected to attract more than 13,000 transportation professionals from around the world. 

A number of Safe-D researchers will be attending the TRB 98th Annual Meeting this January with many of our researchers presenting results from Safe-D projects. The following is information on reported posters and presentations from Safe-D projects during this meeting:
