Transit Informatics to be Introduced at NCTR's 2009 GIS in Transit Conference
Posted by: Martin Akerman on June 24, 2009
Hi guys, My name is Martin Akerman, I am a graduate researcher at the Center for Urban Transportation Research. My research focus is on transit informatics and empowering transit agencies with technology. I've fallen completely in love with the transit industry and have worked hard the last 3 years to make a case for Informatics in Transit as a recognized field. I love to see agencies like Metro, Trimet, and BART continue to push the envelope. You inspire me to continue developing technology for transit agencies every day.
As part of my graduate degree, I'm presenting Transit Informatics and efforts such as this at the 5th annual GIS in Transit Conference in Tampa Bay, November. Please join us. The details are as follow:
