DESCRIPTION:Prof. Arnaud de La Fortelle\nIntelligent transportation system
 s (ITS) are being deployed in many countries to solve many problems arisin
 g in transport such as safety\, efficiency\, pollution or  economic costs
 . A number of technological advances make these systems viable such as inc
 reasing computer power or decreasing sensors costs. Communication and info
 rmation sharing rose quickly in the last decades and we now see the possib
 ility to couple all these systems\, giving birth to cooperative systems. T
 his talk will explain some features of these cooperative intelligent trans
 portation systems. They are good candidates for our future but will be acc
 epted only if their social impact is positive and if it is seen as positiv
 e (not Big Brother like). After all\, their goals are social\, not purely 
 technical\, so we have to consider various aspects.\nShort Bio: Arnaud de 
 La Fortelle got a PhD degree from Ecole des Ponts et Chaussées prepared a
 t INRIA on theoretical properties of probability distributions (large devi
 ations). He becomes director of the joint research unit LaRA (the automate
 d road) between INRIA and Mines ParisTech in 2006. He moves to Mines Paris
 Tech in 2006 where he becomes director of the Robotics Lab (CAOR) in 2008.
  During that period\, he investigates communications for cooperative syste
 ms and the architecture needed in distributed systems. While keeping some 
 fundamental research in probability theory\, his main topic of interest is
  now cooperative systems (data distribution\, control\, mathematical certi
 fication) and their applications (e.g. Cybercars\, collective taxis). He s
 erved the Board of Directors of  IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems 
 Society 2010-2012 and is currently vice-president of the French ANR Sustai
 nable Transports and Mobility evaluation committee. He is also ParisTech's
  coordinator of the Peugeot PSA – ParisTech collaboration.
