Welcome to the
ITS Institute SENSOR
In this publication, we hope to share with the community of ITS
researchers, practitioners, and other interested parties the research,
education, and outreach activities we are pursuing.
Real-Life Statistics
Drive Institute's Work
"Human-centered technology to enhance safety and mobility." More
than just a catch phrase, this theme sets forth the Institute's
ultimate purpose: to develop real-life transportation solutions
that save time and lives.

May Improve Freeway Management Strategies
New traffic management strategies, such as those for ramp control,
must be evaluated and tested, but experimenting in the field with
real traffic would be risky.
Video Cameras Focus
on Visibility
Dr. Taek Kwon recently developed a technique for automatically
detecting and measuring visibility by using video cameras.
