TriDurLE 2nd Annual Symposium

The second annual TriDurLE symposium was held in Honolulu, Hawaii on November 9-11 and featured four keynote speakers, 31 presentations, 2 virtual sessions, and 15 student poster presentations from scholars and professionals worldwide who are conducting researches on transportation infrastructure.
There were more than 40 in-person attendees and 100 on-line attendees during the three-day event. The Symposium theme aligned with the TriDurLE mission of transportation infrastructure innovations for durability, sustainability, and resilience. The symposium proved valuable in promoting collaboration and sharing ongoing research that is at the forefront of the country’s infrastructure focus. 

The symposium’s four keynote speakers are from academia and industry, providing important multiple perspectives on transportation infrastructure-related issues.
