MSU Student Chapter Visits Transportation Sites in Salt Lake City, Utah
[Reprinted with permission from WTI Newsletter]. WTI sponsored the MSU Intelligent Transportation Society-Rocky Mountain Student Chapter (ITS-RM) technical field trip to Salt Lake City, Utah. Graduate and undergraduate students representing various academic disciplines traveled over their spring break to tour a number of transportation sites of interest. The trip was designed to demonstrate the diversity of transportation career opportunities for students in computer science, electrical engineering, and civil engineering. The students visited the Utah Department of Transportation's Traffic Operations Center where they were able to view signal control mechanisms, weather and deicing operations, traffic cameras and the video board room. The Department of Computer Science at the University of Utah provided a presentation and demonstration of an autonomous vehicle faculty and students designed and developed for research purposes. UDOT staff provided an overview of Utah's first Continuous Flow Intersection (CFI). The intersection is unique as it allows four unimpeded movements at a time instead of the conventional two. The intersection has resulted in improved safety and more are planned in the corridor as a result.
