(2013-10-08)(2013) University of Minnesota Duluth. Center for Economic DevelopmentItem Development of a Workshop on Automated Vehicle Technologies(Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota, 2019-07) Davis, Brian; Johnson, ReedConnectivity and automation in vehicles have the potential to change nearly every aspect of our transportation system. Vehicles with these capabilities are already being tested on public roads and are beginning to enter the national fleet. These vehicles have the potential to bring numerous benefits to the public, but these benefits come with tradeoffs that must be carefully considered by transportation professionals.This project focuses on the development and delivery of a two-day workshop on connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) for an audience of public transportation professionals. This workshop was designed to not only provide an overview of CAV technologies but to also to take an in-depth look at Global Navigation Satellite Systems, LIDAR, and the software and algorithms that use these sensors for localization and navigation. The goal of the workshop was to help develop technical literacy about these technologies among workshop participants to provide context when encountering CAV technologies. A workshop was developed that incorporates classroom lectures and demonstrations using a robotic unmanned ground vehicle. A pilot offering of the workshop was delivered in May 2019, which was attended by eight public transportation professionals representing different agencies at different levels of government. Participant feedback was collected to evaluate the efficacy of the workshop. Responses were almost exclusively positive, highlighting participants’ interest in both classroom sessions and demonstrations. Using constructive feedback, improvements have been identified for future offerings. Workshop participants found the workshop to be interesting and reported learning about the topics covered, motivating future offerings.Item Development of a Workshop on Automated Vehicle Technologies(Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota, 2019-07) Davis, Brian; Johnson, ReedConnectivity and automation in vehicles have the potential to change nearly every aspect of our transportation system.

Each session will be presented by STEM faculty and will focus on pedagogy and research in the disciplines. All faculty are welcome to attend.Item Flipping the Classroom (2013-03-29)(2013) University of Minnesota Duluth. Instructional Development Service; Hampton, MarshallFor centuries lecturing has been the primary function of a classroom. But with our technological tools, now information can be transferred outside the classroom on computers, iPads and smart phones.... “Flipping” simply means inverting the transfer of information in the classroom with interaction in the classroom, turning the traditional approach to learning on its head. And it works!Item GAYSL: A Crash Course in LGBTQ American Sign Language & Intersectionality (2019-11-13)(2019) Kristal, Hayden; University of Minnesota Duluth.

It presents a means for collecting a great deal of information about the geometry of a road, its surrounding area, and depending on the sensors used, real-time 3D information about vehicle, cyclist, and pedestrian movements. The main focus of this project was to develop and conduct two workshops in Minnesota for public DOT and GIS professionals to provide information on the state of the art in mobile LIDAR scanning. Topics included the basics of LIDAR operation, an overview of currently available hardware, as well as current and future applications of the technology. Additionally, the workshops featured a live demonstration of a Velodyne HDL-64E 3D LIDAR scanner. A sample application was developed to both demonstrate and better understand the capabilities of a real-time 3D LIDAR scanner. This work focused on developing a system capable of automatically collecting vehicle trajectories through intersections using 3D LIDAR data. This application showed that LIDAR might be a suitable tool for collecting traffic data and provided valuable information about the strengths and limitations of such a system. This project was designed to provide transportation and GIS professionals with accurate, current, and applicable information about LIDAR systems. To accomplish this, existing LIDAR knowledge was combined with market survey research as well as with new information gathered through the process of creating a sample application. This knowledge was aggregated and used to create a workshop that was informative and well received by participants.Item Inquiry-Based Learning & Critical Thinking (2013-03-26)(2013) University of Minnesota Duluth.
