2/7: SMALL CELL MOVEMENT AND IMPLICATIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION
The “small cell” movement -- the use of carrier-grade wifi, cellular microcells and picocells, and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) -- is coming and will effect right-of-way acquisition issues in transportation. Wireless infrastructure providers, carriers, and perhaps even public agencies will be forced to negotiate with utility pole owners to gain access to sites -- and with wireline telecommunications providers to gain backhaul. This webinar will discuss some of the legal and business issues related to mobile companies accessing the utility pole space.

⇒ Thursday, February 7 @ 1:00 p.m. EST
2/12: THE OPEN DATA ECOLOGY: CREATING VALUE WITH TRANSPORTATION DATA
Information officers from three leading transportation agencies present open data initiatives and their outcomes to date. The focus is on value creation, both for the traveling public and the agencies who reap benefits from third-party innovation. The webinar will expose open data policies, implementation challenges, and success stories. We will finally debate the emergence of an "open data ecology" as a self-sustaining business environment for innovative transportation services.
⇒ Moderated by JD Margulici, Novavia Solutions with speakers:
- Donovan Corliss, Technology Innovations Lead, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency
- Hans Klein, Associate Professor in the School of Public Policy, Georgia Institute of Technology
- Peter Thompson, Senior Technology Program Analyst, San Diego Association of Governments
- Timothy Moore, Interactive Services Manager, San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District
⇒ Tuesday, February 12 @ 3:00 p.m. EST
2/20: WIRELESS TESTING - DSRC EVALUATION UNDER CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT
Testbeds like Ann Arbor have the advantage of validating real DSRC implementations on a large scale. However, it can be difficult to control some test parameters, such as vehicle speed, motion direction, traffic scenarios, and troubleshooting and monitoring the behavior of a DSRC implementation under challenging road and wireless channel conditions. To provide more information on DSRC behavior and performance, controlled RF environment testing in a laboratory may be a good supplement to real-world deployment politos like the one in Ann Arbor. This webinar will explore how the automotive industry with its mission-critical wireless applications could benefit from studying the test methods and metrics currently used by the cellular and Wi-Fi industries while refining its own test and certification process relevant to road conditions.

2/26: ITS PERSONAL DATA NEEDS - HOW MUCH DO WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW?
The recent spread of geolocation technology in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) raises difficult and important policy questions about locational privacy. However, much of the current public discussions on locational privacy and ITS appear at risk of becoming increasingly disconnected, and the net result is that the ITS privacy debate often involves two sides talking past each other, with too little energy spent on finding potential common ground. This session sheds new light on the ITS privacy debate by identifying who is involved in the ITS privacy problem and what their goals are with respect to privacy and ITS data. The analysis identifies the types of locational data and the methods for obtaining it that create privacy conflicts, and in turn recommends general approaches for both policymakers and industry practitioners to better manage these conflicts.
