War Games Come to TRB: May the Best Plan for Connecting Technology and Policy Win
Sunday, January 07, 2018, 1:30 PM-4:30 PM, Convention Center 2018

New technologies likely will create winners, losers, and
unanticipated ripple effects. How can technology, public policy, and market
forces align to achieve the greatest societal benefits? Building on the National
Cooperative Highway Research Program's Foresight 750 series, this workshop
offers the chance to participate in an open-ended competition to develop a
transformational solution to the challenge of integrating policy and
technology. Preassigned teams may work on solutions before the TRB Annual
Meeting or may choose to observe TRB’s first-ever war game. The War Game is also
being supported by the new National Academies of Science and TRB Forum on
Preparing for Automated Vehicles and Shared Mobility.
