SAFER seminar with Carol Flannagan: From Model T to Waymo: Cars have gotten better—has transportation data science?
Lindholmpiren 3 at Lindholmen Science Park
Room: Demostudion
We welcome you all to a SAFER Seminar by Carol Flannagan, UMTRI, USA, who is visiting SAFER on March 30, 2017.
Since the early 1900’s, automotive safety has been a major societal concern. From the earliest days, data on crashes and fatalities have been used to drive changes that lowered risk. One hundred years later, vehicle automation places us on the brink of an extraordinary change in transportation and especially transportation safety. As a result, data science advances that are enabling automation have to be put to use in measuring crashes and crash mechanisms for public health. In this talk, I will give a brief history of transportation safety data and analytical approaches, followed by more detailed discussion of recent advances in data acquisition and analysis. The talk will wrap up with the specific analytical challenges introduced by self-driving cars and how those challenges present new opportunities for advancements in data science.
The seminar is open for all who are interested!
Welcome!
