Transportation Engineering Innovations with Dr. Said El Said, PE, PhD

Do you know what Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are? Connected Autonomous Vehicles? 🤔 Then this interview with one of the industry’s traiblazers, Dr. Said El Said, PE, PhD is a must!

Dr. Said is a Transportation Systems Program Manager at Neel-Schaffer, applying technology to transform our transportation infrastructure and optimize our day-to-day use of it.

In this episode, he talks about what he learned from his many years of experience in the tech side of the Transportation industry…and what's changing for it in the near future because of it.

From reaching full autonomy with connected autonomous vehicles that communicate with each other and the road, to the use of non-engineering disciplines in the design of transportation projects…all the way to the biggest challenge to get into the field.

The tech-powered future opportunities in the Transportation arena are endless, for sure. Many things you could do and work on, instead of being pigeon-holed to one thing.
