  Bertini Serves as Visiting Professor at Monash University • December 2008 Prof. Bertini served as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering and the Institute of Transport Studies at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, during December 2008. Bertini had the chance to work with Assoc. Prof. Geoff Rose (who is Director of the Institute of Transport Studies and also the Transport Theme Leader of the Monash Sustainability Institute), Senior Lecturer Majid Sarvi and Senior Lecturer Yibing Wang. There were also opportunities to meet with several Ph.D. students to discuss their research, as well as a visit to the regional VicRoads Traffic Control Centre, the CityLink Control Centre (toll road and tunnel) and to learn about the major upgrade to the Monash Freeway which includes comprehensive dynamic traffic management. Bertini also presented "Introduction to the Oregon Transportation Research and Education Consortium and the Intelligent Transportation Systems Laboratory" at the weekly Transport Research Workshop. Bertini's visit also coincided with a visit by Assistant Professor Hans van Lint of the Delft University of Technology, which provided further excellent collaboration opportunities. During his visit, Monash celebrated their 50th Anniversary, and Bertini had the opportunity to meet university Vice-Chancellor and President Richard Larkins (see photo). Bertini is grateful for the excellent hospitality provided by all of the faculty and staff at Monash! | ||||
