The 560 ITS America 2016 San Jose Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Student Essay Competition will be sponsored again this year by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI). The annual prize, to be awarded at ITS America 2016 San Jose on 12 June during the ITS America Board of Directors meeting, encourages post-secondary students to take a leadership role in advancing transportation technology by sharing their own unique concepts and ideas, as expressed via an original essay. The contest is aimed at undergraduate and graduate-level students studying transportation, engineering, and public policy.
Students’ self-authored 2,000 word essays are to focus on either of two topics: “How do you envision the city of the future will address transportation through the use of new innovative technologies? (10-year horizon)”; “How can existing and future ITS deployments benefit from the existence of Big Data and advancements in analytics?”
The winning student will receive a US$1,000 cash prize, complimentary registration to the ITS America 2016 San Jose event and expenses-paid air travel and hotel accommodation for the venue. Selection of the winning essay is based on the thought-provoking insights expressed about the future of the intelligent transportation industry.
