C2SMART at TRB
C2SMART had another successful year at the Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in Wash- ington, DC, with our members and affiliates presenting
a wide variety of research during poster sessions and presentations. The center was proud to have upwards of 45 conference publications by its consortium members presented at TRB, and faculty from C2SMART’s member universities presided over several workshops and com- mittee meetings.
C2SMART also took advantage of the opportunity to raise its profile within the transportation industry at the world’s largest gathering of transportation professionals, hosting a well-attended reception in conjunction with the NYU Tandon Alumni Relations and Admissions depart- ments. The center displayed research highlights at our booth in the Exhibit Hall, where students and staff spoke with attendees about the Center’s mission and current projects. A full list of C2SMART’s 2019 TRB publications is available on the Center website.
