Overview
This webinar provides an overview of traffic incident management (TIM), basic travel, and road weather management use cases developed through the FHWA’s CARMA Program. Updates were shared on completed and upcoming validation testing, and learn how they can utilize FHWA’s research and contribute to the CARMA Platform.
Target Audience
- Transportation agencies & infrastructure owner operators
- University researchers
- Developers and deployers of CDA technology
Learning Objectives
Participants will hear from CARMA engineers and developers, and have the opportunity to ask questions about progress, challenges, and next steps in the testing process for TIM, basic travel, and road weather management use cases.
