| The Grand Opening of the ITS Centre and Testbed marks the beginning of a innovative new research initiative in Intelligent Transportation Systems at the University of Toronto Civil Engineering Department. The investment that is being made in this facility will not only allow researchers to develop improved methods of traffic systems analysis to relieve congestion and control of traffic flow, it will also prove to be an invaluable training ground for talented new transportation engineering students. |
