Overview
January 8, 2017
Roundtable held at AASHTO’s Offices in Washington, DC
Building on the successful France/United States Bilateral Roundtable held at the 2015 ITS World Congress in Bordeaux, this follow-up event continued the dialogue among key French and US officials on a range of matters addressing connected and automated vehicle research, policy, and operations taking place in the two countries.
The workshop offered an opportunity for both delegations to present their latest initiatives and then engage in a wide ranging discussion about opportunities for knowledge transfer, application, and learning to support the broader outcomes of each nation's transportation strategies.
The roundtable took place during the US Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting (January 8-13) in Washington, DC at the headquarters of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Attendees of the roundtable also benefited from a range of TRB sessions throughout the week that addressed connected and automated vehicles and helped foster ongoing interaction and networking among international transportation officials.
The two delegations thank the National Operations Center of Excellence for hosting the workshop and for providing its website to assemble and share their knowledge resources and learnings.
