face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'><br>
Our IGERT program in Computational Transportation Science (CTS) provides
fellowships to PhD students in several participating academic departments
(computer science, civil and materials engineering, urban planning and policy,
information and decision sciences, and mechanical and industrial engineering).
CTS engages students and faculty from these disciplines in collaborative
research to solve a broad range of transportation problems. By taking advantage
of ubiquitous computing and focusing on the information aspects of
transportation, CTS researchers can improve the efficiency of day-to-day
transportation. <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Students interested in topics
such as large distributed and mobile systems, wireless and vehicular
networking, mobile peer-to-peer computing, sensor fusion, human-computer
interaction, privacy and information security will find especially interesting
applications of their work to CTS.</span></b><br>
