As part of the Engineering Rising to the Challenge initiative, the College of Engineering at Purdue University will join industry and government partners to host a free webinar on "Advancing Driver-Centric Automation to Enhance Safety and Efficiency in Freight Trucking" on June 16 from 2:30-3:45 p.m.

Purdue Engineering, Peloton Technology, and other industry partners - including Cummins and Peterbilt Motors - are collaborating to extend the benefits of two-truck platooning to hilly terrain, in a pioneering effort to improve fuel efficiency and safety.

The Purdue Road School unites federal, state and local agencies, elected officials, and industry professionals, and academia to collaborate and share innovations on diverse transportation topics. The 106th event once again broke records with over 3,150 registrants participating in 176 technical sessions involving 357 speakers and moderators. The program provided 182 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) to choose from, including 4 hours of Indiana Statutes and Ethics for Professional Engineers. The Purdue Road School collaborated for the second year with The Work Truck Show held at the Indianapolis Convention Center, where several technical sessions were offered to attendees.
