TRB 2010
Along with the Georgia Tech chapter of ITE, I attended the Transportation Research Board’s 89th Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. from January 10-14. Over 10,000 transportation professionals, educators, and students attend this conference which is held in three hotels along Connecticut Avenue (Marriot, Omni Shoreham, and Hilton).
This was my third time attending, and my first one at which I had the chance to present a paper. The paper, titled ”Levels of Overcrowding in Bus System of Dhaka, Bangladesh” was accepted by the Transit Capacity and Quality-of-Service committee of TRB, and presented as a poster in the Transit Quality-of-Service Evaluation session. I had the opportunity to interact with transit design professionals and answer their questions. Additionally, many Bangladeshis came by to observe the poster, and discussed with me my conclusions.
