Welcome and Program Overview: TransOvation 2015 PRESENTED BY: TED ZOLI, HNTB
What is TransOvation? Not a typical conference. An opportunity to learn from, and collaborate with, other industry leaders in this world of changing technologies and transportation developments. Isn’t a “sit back and listen” event – attendees participate in a group workshop to solve a pressing problem. Workshop leaders will help guide you along. Attendees explore how to be open to change These concepts are often relevant to the work place and help their companies adapt to new markets
TransOvation Through the Years 2011: How can transportation infrastructure improvements help revitalize Detroit? 2012: Develop innovative ideas, concepts, or opportunities to explore ways to dramatically reduce the toll of U.S. deaths and injuries from motor vehicle crashes on the nation’s highways that focus on design and infrastructure solutions. 2013: Identify the roadway design, construction & management implementation challenges posed by game- changing technologies, such as driverless cars and intelligent transportation systems.
TransOvation through the years, cont. 2014: Develop a five-year strategic business plan to position your firm or agency to be a major player in a quickly evolving transportation development and management marketplace that uses “Big Data” and communications technologies to solve mobility and safety problems 2015: Moving the Ball Forward: Creating a Roadmap to Advance Innovation in Transportation Design & Construction: How can we overcome the challenges to getting new products or innovations into the U.S. Transportation Construction Market?
What to expect over the next couple of days? Hear from innovation thought leaders from inside and outside the U.S. transportation design and construction industry Learn about the cross-section between technology and transportation Gain from DOT leaders and transportation firms regarding challenges for companies that seek to introduce new products into the market Participate in a challenging workshop where you will have the opportunity to address this year’s core question : How can we overcome the challenges to getting new products or innovations into the U.S. Transportation Construction Market?
