Dr. Aemal Khattak was the keynote speaker at the 2nd International Conference on Information Technology and Intelligent Transportation Systems held at the Changan University, Xi’an, China.
The conference provided a platform for all professionals and researchers from industry and academia to present and discuss recent advances in the field of Information Technology and Intelligent Transportation Systems. Intelligent transport systems vary in technologies applied, from basic management systems to more application systems. Information technology also plays tightly with intelligent transportation systems including wireless communication, computational technologies, floating car data/floating cellular data, sensing technologies, and video vehicle detection; and technologies of intelligent transportation systems also includes topics from theoretic and application topics such as, emergency vehicle notification systems, automatic road enforcement, collision avoidance systems and some cooperative systems.
The conference fosters cooperation among organizations and researchers involved in the merging fields, inviting worldwide well-known professors to further explore these topics, and discuss in-depth technical presentations with the presenters.
Dr. Khattak is a Professor and Associate Department Chair in the Department of Civil Engineering. He is the Chair of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Committee on Highway/Rail Grade Crossings (AHB60), a committee concerned with the safety and other affected characteristics of both highway and rail traffic at points where they intersect.
