Dr. Gérard Le Lann holds French degrees, a M.S. in Applied Mathematics, an Engineering Degree in Computer Science (both from the University of Toulouse) and a Ph.D in Computer Science (University of Rennes). He started his career at CERN, Geneva (Switzerland), and joined IRIA (now INRIA) in 1972. His main areas of research are distributed dependable computing and networking, real-time computing and networking, proof-based system engineering and, more recently, mobile wireless safety-critical cyber-physical systems and networks. At Stanford University (1973-74), working with Professor Vint Cerf, he was involved in the design of what became known as the Internet TCP/IP protocol. In 1977, he published one of the founding papers on distributed fault-tolerant computing. In the early 80’s, he published innovative results on non-blocking concurrency control in distributed databases. In the mid 80’s, he co-patented a deterministic version of the Ethernet protocol, which became a French Navy standard. More recently, he has published papers on safety-critical time bounded communications and distributed agreement algorithms aimed at intelligent vehicular networks. In 2012, G. Le Lann has received the Willis Lamb Prize from the French Academy of Sciences for his work applicable to defense systems. Besides its current affiliation with INRIA as Research Director Emeritus, G. Le Lann is an international consultant. He has conducted a number of audits and managed more than 50 contracts in his research areas, for US, European, and French organizations and companies.

Dr. Shladover was one of the pioneers in the creation of the ITS program in the U.S., beginning with work on founding the California PATH Program in the mid-1980s. He received his bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, where he also satisfied all the course requirements for a doctorate in Transportation Systems. He began working on applications of information technology to improving surface transportation as a graduate student in 1973, and has worked since then on a wide variety of research projects. He combines hard-core engineering expertise in dynamic systems and control with knowledge of transportation system policy, planning, and economics, which enables him to effectively apply rigorous analysis methods to complicated transportation problems. He was one of the first researchers to do in-depth investigations of probe vehicle data sampling in the days of the “vehicle infrastructure integration” initiative, identifying limitations in the existing probe sampling protocols and recommending modifications.
Dr. Shladover has been managing a wide range of ITS research projects at PATH, with a particular emphasis on cooperative systems and vehicle automation. He was the site program manager for PATH’s participation in the National Automated HighwaySystems Consortium (1994-8) and subsequent to that he led PATH’s development of bus and truck platoon systems and cooperative ACC systems. He pioneered the study of cooperative ACC in the U.S., beginning with computer simulations of the possible effects on traffic flow, which were sufficiently encouraging to lead to the creation of an experimental program. He led the development and evaluation of the performance of two generations of CACC systems at PATH, producing the only sustained body of research on this subject (and the only implementations on real vehicles) in the U.S.
Dr. Shladover’s work is widely recognized internationally, and he has held many leadership positions in professional organizations. He chaired the TRB ITS Committee from 2004-2010 and will be chairing the TRB Committee on Vehicle-HighwayAutomation starting in 2013. He chaired the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Division (DSCD) in 1995-6 and has been leading the U.S. delegation to ISO TC204/WG14, developing international standards for vehicle-roadway warning and control systems for the past twenty years. He is on the editorial advisory boards of the leading journals in intelligent transportation systems, Transportation Research Part C, Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems and IET Intelligent Transport Systems.Dr. Shladover was honored with the ASME DSCD’s Charles Stark Draper Award for Innovative Practice in 2008 and the American Automatic Control Council’s Control Engineering Practice Award in 2011. |

Dr. Fawzi Nashashibi is a senior researcher and the Program Manager of RITS Team at INRIA (Paris-Rocquencourt) since 2010. He has been a senior researcher and Program Manager in the robotics center of the École des Mines de Paris (Mines ParisTech) since 1994 and was an R&D engineer and a project manager at ARMINES since May 2000. He was previously a research engineer at PROMIP (working on mobile robotics perception dedicated to space exploration) and a technical manager at Light Co. where he led the developments of Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality applications. His main research topics are in environment perception and multi-sensor fusion, vehicle positioning and environment 3D modeling with main applications in Intelligent Transport Systems and Robotics. Projects and applications.
