SIS14: Securing the Future of EV Charging: Government and Industry Partnerships for Cyber-Resilience |
Sunday, Aug 24th |
A312 |
Josh Johnson |
As electric vehicle adoption accelerates, the charging infrastructure that powers it becomes ever more critical—and potentially more vulnerable to cybersecurity exploits, including an attacker disabling the device, bypassing payment, or accessing payment data. Yet, no clear mandate or universal standards guide cybersecurity requirements in the EV charging space. In this session, experts, industry leaders, and security organizations will explore securing the EV charging ecosystem without creating undue burdens. Panelists will discuss existing frameworks, standards, secure identity management, and the challenges of implementing these measures across diverse stakeholders. They will highlight emerging best practices, including self-regulation based on “cyber maturity,” and examine why these efforts matter for public safety and safeguarding the electrical grid. Join us for an in-depth conversation on building affordable, scalable, and interoperable solutions that protect charging networks from current and future threats. |

GDOT1: GDOT Spotlight: Georgia’s Connected Vehicle Program and Navigating the Roadmap Ahead |
Tuesday, Aug 26th |
A313 |
Purser Sturgeon |
As connected vehicle deployments continue to garner attention and the number of deployments increases nationwide, Infrastructure Owner Operators (IOOs) are faced with creating a vision for their program and successfully delivering on vehicle to everything (V2X) investments. This session will focus on Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and private sector representatives discussing how partnerships have helped meet the state’s vision and expand the connected vehicle infrastructure. These partnerships have been used to build out the state’s V2X infrastructure, equip public and private fleets, and manage and evaluate the data that is being generated. Knowing where existing infrastructure is located, how can IOOs leverage existing contracts to further build out V2X systems. With increasing infrastructure buildout, IOOs’ consideration should be given to work with public fleets (emergency responder and transit agencies) to equip their vehicles. Finally, as the number of V2X deployments increases, IOOs are examining what data is being generated and how to best store the data, how reliable the data is, and how can IOOs make best use of data. IOOs’ operations can use the data to better manage their roadway networks. IOOs can not only use the data to identify and quickly respond to incidents on their roadway networks but can communicate with first responders early on to provide insight into what the incident is to equip the first responder with information they need to prepare to respond. Finally, IOOs can use the data to provide financial benefits to pay for their roadway networks and maintenance. This session will be a question-and-answer session with audience participation to discuss these critical issues. |

SIS38: Harnessing AI and Machine Learning for Proactive Traffic Management |
Tuesday, Aug 26th |
A312 |
Kevin Miller |
In an era of increasing urbanization and traffic complexity, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to enable proactive traffic operations has become critical for enhancing mobility, safety, and efficiency. This panel will explore the transformative role of AI-driven predictive models in identifying and mitigating potential traffic bottlenecks and incidents. Experts will discuss real-time data processing, predictive analytics, and dynamic response mechanisms that use AI/ML to optimize traffic signal timings, detect incidents, and predict traffic flow patterns. Attendees will gain insights into successful case studies, challenges in data integration, and the evolving role of AI in building smarter, more responsive transportation networks. |

IF7: Global Data Sharing vs. National Security Protection: Can ITS Leaders Strike the Balance? |
Wednesday, Aug 27th |
A305 |
Steve Dellenback |
In an era of rapidly expanding intelligent transportation systems (ITS), global data sharing has become essential for driving innovation, improving mobility, and enhancing safety. Yet, this unprecedented level of connectivity also raises significant concerns about national security, data sovereignty, and privacy. Striking the balance between collaboration and protection is one of the most pressing challenges facing ITS leaders today.

SIS67: Transportation Data Exchanges: Beyond Silos of Excellence |
Thursday, Aug 28th |
A311 |
Mike Haas |
There are software applications in use by travelers, transport agencies, and first responders that could save lives and improve mobility on our roadways today if they had the data needed to do so. The data needed exists today but is not available to the systems and people that need it. These data, in fact, have existed for years – collected, curated, and safely stored in “silos of excellence” across the US. Transportation Data Exchanges are providing an emerging technical solution to the pervasive institutional problem of data silos. This session brings together industry leaders from the public sector and the private sector to consider the vital role that Transportation Data exchanges play today and will continue to play in an increasingly connected and interdependent transportation environment. |
