Goals:

1. Raise the local highway engineering community's awareness of the latest technologies relative to highway safety software and hardware.
2. Create a connection among the various professionals (researchers, educators, designers, constructors, and maintenance providers) that have an impact on the future safety performance of our highways.
3. Provide a forum for questions and discussions relative to the implementation of the latest technologies.
