ITEUW
rocks the Western Annual Conference
Four students from the ITE UW Student Chapter (ITEUW): Runze Yu, Xiaoyue Liu, Kelly Pitera, and Yegor Malinovskiy attended the 2011 ITE Western District Annual Meeting, from July 10th to 13th in Anchorage, Alaska. The trip was sponsored by the ITE Washington Section.
The proposal for “Traffic Hero”, by Yegor and Runze from the ITEUW, has been selected as the winner of this year’s James H. Kell RFP competition. As the winners of this award, our student chapter facilitated the Kell Competition on Sunday afternoon at the Annual Meeting. The Chapter also received $1500 to purchase supplies and cover travel costs to attend the Annual Meeting. Participating students enjoyed the game and learned the basic ideas of video-based traffic detection. Following-up interest in the game emerged from the ITE community after the game, bringing the potentials of presenting this game in future ITE conferences and events.
Additionally Runze’s paper, “Quantifying
the Relationship between Near-road Concentrations of Black Carbon and
Traffic Flow Observations”, was selected as the winning paper for the
2011 Western District Student Paper Award. He presented his research at the
conference and was also awarded an award plaque and a check for $500 during
the awards banquet.
