38th International Forum on Traffic Records & Highway Information Systems

Beau Rivage Hotel & Convention Center, Biloxi, Mississippi
October 28-31, 2012
"Taking it to the streets:  local roles in traffic records"
 

The Traffic Records Forum provides an opportunity for traffic records professionals of all disciplines and in all types of organizations to share their experiences, innovations, studies, technologies, etc. in presentations, sessions and  conversations. 

In 2012, ATSIP will spot-light the contribution of local planners, health care providers, (more examples....., ) etc., in the collection and use of traffic records.  These presentations may be from the point of view of local professionals, or from others who work with them, support their activity or who make use of the data collected locally.

Presentations are welcome on all traffic records-related topics, but special consideration will be given to topics relating to local data.  Information about paper submission will be forthcoming.

What is the Traffic Records Forum?

The Traffic Records Forum is a three or four-day opportunity to view or participate in presentations, exhibits, workshops, and seminars on topics of interest to the highway traffic safety and data communities, and to help guide national discourse about traffic records during the ATSIP general meeting.

The Traffic Records Forum Program includes a keynote speaker, one or more plenary sessions of general interest to all attendees, and multiple break-out sessions, with additional training sessions preceding the Forum proper.   ATSIP sets a new Forum Program annually, under the direction of its Board and with the participation of member organizations. The Forum Theme and Program varies from year to year, based on current trends and needs.
