 Please join us for our May 2026 CVT meeting.\n\nWe will again meet on the 
 University of Texas at Dallas campus in the SPN.1 building.\nOur meeting w

 \n\nTitle: &quot;Intelligent Traffic Management System - DALI NEXUS&quot;\nSpeaker: 
 Dr. Rym Z. Wenkstern\, Professor of Computer Science at ECS\, University o
 f Texas at Dallas.\n\nDate:  May 19\, 2026\nLocation: UTD Synergy Park Nor
 th Building\; 3000 Waterview\, Richardson\, TX\nDirections: NE Corner Syne
 rgy Park Blvd and Steward Dr.\nLunch Cost: see below.\n\nAbstract:\nIntell
 igent Traffic Management System - DALI NEXUS\n\nTraffic congestion remains
  one of the most pressing urban challenges of our time. In the Dallas-Fort
  Worth region alone\, motorists spend more than 127 million hours in traff
 ic delays each year\, waste 44 million gallons of fuel\, and incur an esti
 mated $3.1 billion in annual costs. These impacts extend well beyond lost 
 time and money\, contributing to environmental degradation and adverse pub
 lic health outcomes.\n\nThis talk presents DALI NEXUS\, an innovative AI-d
 riven traffic infrastructure designed to transform rigid traffic managemen
 t systems into collaborative\, intelligent networks. DALI NEXUS brings tog
 ether three tightly connected components: DALI-TCS\, which transforms exis
 ting traffic control systems into adaptive intelligent systems without req
 uiring new hardware\; DALI-Connect\, a cloud-based infrastructure that lin
 ks intersections and road users\; and DALI-App\, which delivers real-time 
 alerts\, safety notifications\, and live updates to drivers\, cyclists\, a
 nd pedestrians. As a pilot deployment\, DALI-TCS was implemented across 15
  intersections in the City of Richardson\, where it has proven effective i
 n reducing congestion and improving traffic operations.\n\nPre-registered 
 and paid via the IEEE website:\nIEEE Members $10.00\nIEEE Life Members $5.

 d the ‘Guest’ rate.\n\nThere is No charge for &#39;No Lunch\, just attendi
 ng the talk&#39;.\n\nThanks in advance\, and all the best.\n\nDivya K.\n\nAnyo
