The University of Maryland A. James Clark School of Engineering will host an Advanced Transportation Technologies Day open house to showcase its state-of-the-art transportation research facilities, home to some of today's most cutting-edge performance monitoring, real-time analysis and modeling technologies.

In line with the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend, the UMD Center for Advanced Transportation Technology (CATT Lab)(link is external) will also release its first-ever holiday weekend forecast, derived from both archived and real-time data analysis, as part of the I-95 Corridor Coalition project. Event participants will have the opportunity to tour the CATT Lab, as well as UMD's Traffic Safety and Operations Lab(link is external) and National Transportation Center(link is external). Additionally, participants are invited to go behind-the-scenes of the Metropolitan Area Transportation Operations Coordination(link is external) (MATOC), which works in partnership with UMD and transportation agencies throughout the region to improve safety and mobility in the D.C. area. 

The UMD Advanced Transportation Technologies Day event will run from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. While attendees are invited to tour each of the technology facilities listed below during their designated times, representatives of each lab will be on hand for the duration of the event to answer questions and respond to media inquiries. Members of the media are encouraged to book an appointment by calling or emailing Alyssa Wolice at 301-405-2057 or awolice@umd.edu.
