IDTechEx's new report "Automotive Radar 2024-2044: Forecasts, Technologies, Applications" finds that approximately 70% of vehicles 2022 had a front radar, and around 30% use side radars for blind spot detection. This webinar explores some of the development avenues that are being explored to address the ever-growing demands of radar.

As retailers face increasing challenges in the world of data-driven marketing, it's clear that relying solely on first-party data is no longer sufficient.

This webinar, the first in a series of five, will present an overview of NCHRP 08-119 Data Integration, Sharing, and Management for Transportation Planning and Traffic Operations, which began in 2019 and ran through 2023. The objective of this project was to develop tools, methods, and guidance for improving data sharing, integration, and management practices to enable transportation agencies, in collaboration with private-sector and public-sector stakeholders, to make better planning and operations decisions. The webinar series will share best practices, lessons learned, challenges and opportunities, and emerging practices for data sharing, integration, and management; opportunities and information on partnering with private sector data providers; and the needs/approaches to prepare for big data. Much of the work from the project can also be found at data.transportationops.org. To effectively plan and operate transportation systems, agencies need to use a wide variety of data. However, existing data silos; a lack of common data formats; hesitation or fear of sharing data; and traditional, rigid data management practices limit transportation agencies and practitioners in their ability to exchange, integrate, and use data for analysis, reporting, and decision-making. Further, as transportation agencies begin to use new data sources and to make their data more accessible, some of the issues faced include gaining confidence in the data and understanding their quality and variability, reconciling data discrepancies among different sources, validating processes for turning data into information, comparing system performance across time considering how the data have changed, and understanding the implications of big data approaches/applications. More modern approaches to data management can improve the efficiency of data-driven processes as well as support innovation across transportation agencies.

Webinar: Monitoring and predicting conditions that contribute to fire spread are central to both the national fire danger rating system and prescribed fire efforts. In forests, fine scale variation in stand structure and composition can influence microclimate conditions (i.e. understory temperature and relative humidity) and dead fuel moisture. However, these dynamic drivers of fire behavior are difficult to parameterize in predictive models due to their high spatial and temporal variability. In this study, we used terrestrial laser scanning, field-based climate data loggers, fuel moisture sticks, and forest inventory measurements to better understand the relationship between forest structure, microclimate, and dead fuel moisture in two managed northern conifer forests in Maine and New Hampshire. This research enhances northeastern fire managers’ ability to plan and implement fuel treatments by highlighting how changes in forest stand structure drive fine scale heterogeneity in fuel moisture and fire behavior.

As the limitations on freshwater supplies increases due to more extreme weather conditions and water quality degradation, the demand for both brackish and seawater water desalination is expected to increase across the United States of America. In areas of population growth and water supply sustainability risk, municipalities, government agencies and industrial water users are already seeking alternative supplies such as desalination. The applications for desalination technologies are expected to increase. What you'll learn by attending: • Identify desalination technologies • Understand how reverse osmosis works • Identify reverse osmosis applications • Understand design considerations for BWRO and SWRO Presented by Christian Sanders, PE, CPEng; Rubén Muñoz, MSc.; Matthew Trzcinski, PE; Moderated by Mark White, PE, BCEE Participants will earn one professional development hour (PDH) from CDM Smith University for attending. We hope you can join us, continue learning and stay connected!

The regression discontinuity (RD) design is a popular method used in a wide range of policy evaluations. Its popularity owes to the simplicity, credibility, and wide applicability of its design: individuals are assigned to treatment based on whether the value of their running variable exceeds a known threshold, effectively creating a local randomized experiment in a neighborhood of the cutoff as long as individuals cannot precisely manipulate their running variable. With the growing availability of rich datasets, RD designs with multiple running variables (MRD) have become increasingly common, and yet unlike for single-dimensional RD designs, there is little consensus over how to conduct estimation in such settings. In this webinar, we cover the basics of the MRD design, and discuss a simple estimation method. We also discuss potential applications in healthcare settings, such as studying the effect of Medicaid when eligibility depends on income and age, and health effects of higher education when financial aid eligibility depends on test scores and family income.

It’s not easy being a leader in public safety. You’re expected to demonstrate empathy and strength, vision and command, integrity yet flexibility. And the various stakeholders you serve – your personnel, your elected officials and your community members – often expect different things. How can you navigate these challenges? It’s not easy, but being on the lookout for “leadership watchouts” can help. In this webinar, Battalion Chief Bruce Bjorge and Chief (Ret.) Dave Funkhouser share six areas that can spell trouble for public safety leaders and discuss how you can meet these challenges, build your leadership strengths and improve the overall wellness and productivity of your agency personnel. Engage in the discussion by submitting your questions live. And set yourself up to finish the year strong and move into 2024 with renewed energy and commitment. You’ll learn: - How to avoid common mistakes that lead to leadership failures. - The importance of self-care and how to become a leader in wellness. - How to take steps to ensure policy and practice are aligned. - How to become a servant leader instead of a servant to leadership.
