These steps include the following: 1) meetings similar to the aladdin conferences in the United States, designed to expose university research talent and facilities to prospective industry clientele, 2) direct meetings between transport Canada and several targeted industry representatives, 3) a feasibility study for the creation of an online database of transportation research facilities and personnel, 4) investigations into several specific topics raised at the colloquium, and 5) a study of methods that can be used to stimulate public interest, awareness and enthusiasm in transportation technology.
