1 2015 Road Safety & Simulation International Conference Orlando, Florida, USA Exhibitor and Sponsor Prospectus

2 On behalf of the RSS 2015 Program Committee, we are honored to invite you to exhibit and or be a sponsor at the 2015 Road Safety & Simulation, to be held October 6 8, 2015 in popular Orlando, Florida. This year, the conference is being held at the Orlando Airport Marriott. Exhibits will be located in the XXX, adjacent to the session breakout rooms. The exhibit area will host all breaks. We look forward to seeing you in Orlando! WHO SHOULD EXHIBIT RSS 2015 is an important venue for companies interested in developing training technology that supports the study and improvement of human performance in situations marked by time pressure, uncertainty, vague goals, high stakes, team and organizational constraints, changing conditions, and varying amounts of experience. We welcome organizations who develop technologies and capabilities in support of complex cognition. This includes cognitive engineering and cognitive systems design, as well as simulation and training. CONFERENCE OVERVIEW The Road Safety & Simulation Conferences were established in Rome in 2007, with the aim to create a meeting ground for scholars, scientists and road safety professionals with different backgrounds, and to encourage and facilitate the exchange of know-how. From inception, the conference series main goal has been to investigate and understand the issues related to road safety through novel perspectives. Because of the specific skills and international reputation of its research team, Roma Tre University had to be the host and organizer of the event. These researchers are acknowledged as the first to approach geometric design of roads in combination with the study of human behavior within different traffic and environmental conditions. Through all the past years, great research efforts have focused on this field. Furthermore, in the last decade a dedicated driving simulation laboratory has proved to be an advanced and valuable tool to generate improvements in the studies on transportation. Starting from 2007, driving simulation studies have increased and many researchers have approached this novel tool for their specific scopes. In addition, researchers involved in other fields have focused their attention to driving simulation as a very promising and interesting tool for their investigations. Within this area, naturalistic driving concepts studying surrogate measures of safety or safety modeling are currently being developed as well as some very innovative topics regarding, for instance, highway design engineering or the assessment of new projects through public participation. The first four editions of the International Conference on Road Safety and Simulation were organized by the Interuniversity s Research Center for Road Safety (CRISS) at Roma Tre University in Rome, Italy (November 7-9, 2007); the INRETS in Paris, France (October 5-7, 2009); Purdue Center for Road Safety (CRS) and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) in Indianapolis, USA (September 14-16, 2011); and, once again by Roma Tre University (October 23-25, 2013). Conference organizers and the permanent steering committee are pleased to have RSS2015 hosted by the University of Central Florida and the University of Tennessee in Orlando, Florida, USA, October 6-8, CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES The RSS series showcases advancements in traffic simulation and driving simulator technologies, introducing new initiatives and concepts that have emerged since the first RSS conference in Rome, Italy in Under the auspices of the Southeastern Transportation Center, three world-class research centers will support the conference: Center for Advanced Transportation Systems Simulation, and the Institute for Simulation and Training at UCF; and UTK s Center for Transportation Research. These centers conduct sponsored research in driving simulators, traffic simulation, traffic safety, commercial vehicle operations, Intelligent Transportation Systems deployment, and congestion pricing; human factors; and comprehensive transportation safety, including surface modes, rail, and bicycle and pedestrian issues.
