Automated Vehicles Symposium 2015 Call for Abstracts – Poster Sessions

We are pleased to announce that as part of the symposium we are hosting two poster sessions. Both sessions will provide the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge work from across all topics related to automated vehicles including all breakout topic areas. Participants are invited to submit abstracts to one or both sessions.

On Tuesday July 21, 2015, there will be a session for peer-reviewed research posters. Posters to be considered for the Tuesday session should present a discrete and completed research project, akin to what would be published in an academic journal article or presented in a TRB poster session.

On Wednesday July 22, 2015, there will be a poster and exhibit session showcasing a broader range of content in the field of vehicle automation. Wednesday submissions can be more free-form: introductions to research centers or programs; research agendas, prospective studies, and work in progress; or other posters that are relevant and of high quality but don’t quite fit into the mold of a traditional research poster presentation.

Abstracts for both sessions are due by June 7, 2015. Peer review decisions will be announced by June 21, 2015.
