CATT Lab: What's New Top 10

CATT Lab’s core competencies include:

  • Managing, integrating, and archiving transportation data of all flavors;
  • Fusing and correlating disparate data from multiple sources and types;
  • Performing real-time, predictive, and non-real-time analytics on data;
  • Visualizing information in ways that help communicate difficult concepts and point out important details in data;
  • Building compelling user-interfaces that reduce user fatigue, lead to increased efficiencies, and aid in faster insights discovery for transportation operations, planning, and research;
  • Designing situational awareness tools and computing performance metrics for business and governments.

Most attendees of the ITS Maryland annual meeting have already been sponsored for RITIS by the Maryland SHA, VDOT, DDOT, MWCOG, and/or other state or local agencies in the region. Attendees not already registered should go to www.ritis.org to request login credentials. That website also provides detailed information about the scope of the many tools in RITIS.

Questions about RITIS can be left in the CATT Lab’s inbox, or emailed to info@ritis.org

SESSION 2A

TSMO: Leveraging Cloud Services for the Transportation Industry

While new technology brings new opportunities and excitement, it also brings challenges that require new ways of thinking. For example, in recent years cloud services have become a viable option for transportation agencies and companies to capitalize on the increased influx of data and information, while reducing IT / OT costs and headaches. But the cloud's many flavors make it difficult to determine where to start. In this session we will hear about Virginia DOT 's transition to cloud hosted data services. Furthermore, whether agencies decide to embrace cloud transition challenges sooner or later, all should consider taking action to address the increasing cybersecurity threat. A transportation industry expert will provide insights for addressing these threats.

Moderator: Nikola Ivanov, Director of Operations, CATT Lab, University of Maryland
