Argonne Scientist Receives Award for Contributions in Intelligent Transportation Systems

On February 6, 2004, the Intelligent Transportation Society of the Midwest (ITS Midwest) held its annual meeting in Schaumburg, Illinois, with the theme "Transportation Safety and Security." The meeting included a Service Award ceremony, recognizing the contributions of Dr. Adrian Tentner from Argonne National Laboratory. Dr. Tentner is one of the founders of the Society and served as the first President for seven years, while directing Argonne's intelligent transportation systems program. He helped foster many ITS-related activities in the Gary-Chicago-Milwaukee area and nationally and led the successful ITS Midwest effort to bring the ITS World Congress to Chicago in 2002. (More...)
