History Of IEEE-ITSS

For some engineers, 1999 New Year’s Day activities include celebrating the birth of a new entity dedicated to studying intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The Technical Activities Board (TAB) of the 320,000-member Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) voted to transform the TAB Ad Hoc Committee on ITS into a permanent entity, the new Intelligent Transportation Systems Council (ITS Council), which begins activities January 1, 1999.
