ITE Arizona - June Technical Luncheon - Improving Traffic Safety with Near-Miss Detection
ACEC Phoenix Central
3550 N Central Ave Suite 1140
Phoenix, AZ 85012
Directions
For decades, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been applying technology to make driving more efficient and safer. With improvements in computer vision, deployments of LiDAR, and the pervasiveness of artificial intelligence, near-miss detection is increasingly being promoted as the way to bring safety to all roadway users, including Vulnerable Roadway Users.
Join us on June 25, when the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Arizona Section (AZITE) brings together a several presentations on the state-of-the-art of Near Miss Detection and Analytics.
Please head to the elevators. Through the doors, walk forward and you will see the elevators on your left. Head to the 11th floor. The ACEC space is on the south side.
Parking is available west of the building in the parking garage or surface lot.
