Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Institute is
a land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant university,
with an urban campus that
extends more than a mile (1.6 km) alongside the Charles River.
The Institute also encompasses a number of major off-campus facilities such as
the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, the Bates Center,
and the Haystack Observatory, as well as
affiliated laboratories such as the Broad and Whitehead Institutes. Founded in 1861 in
response to the increasing industrialization
of the United States, MIT adopted a European polytechnic university model and
stressed laboratory instruction in applied science and engineering.
It has since played a key role in the development of many aspects of modern
science, engineering, mathematics, and technology, and is widely known for
its innovation and
academic strength, making it one of the most prestigious institutions of higher
learning in the world. MIT
OpenCourseWare MIT
OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a web-based publication of virtually all MIT course
content. OCW is open and available to the world and is a permanent MIT
activity. Through OCW,
educators improve courses and curricula, making their schools more effective;
students find additional resources to help them succeed; and independent
learners enrich their lives and use the content to tackle some of our world’s
most difficult challenges, including sustainable development, climate change,
and cancer eradication.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
represent a major transition in transportation on many dimensions. This course
considers ITS as a lens through which one can view many transportation and
societal issues. ITS is an international program intended to improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of surface transportation systems through advanced
technologies in information systems, communications, and sensors. In the United
States, ITS represents the major post-Interstate-era program for advancing
surface transportation in highways and public transportation, and is
potentially comparable to the air traffic control system in impact.
