ITS
Canada Michel Van Aerde Memorial Scholarship for Graduate
Study in ITS
ITS
Canada's Michel Van Aerde Memorial Scholarship was set up
by ITS Canada to commemorate the contribution that Dr. Michel
Van Aerde made to the ITS industry. Professor Van Aerde was
a leader in the academic field, with positions at the University
of Waterloo and Queens University, where he played a leading
role in the development of ITS-related curricula. He was also
very active in research, specifically in areas of operational
and benefits assessments using modelling techniques. This
led to the development of the INTEGRATION model which was
used extensively in some of the early evaluations of ITS projects,
both in North America and internationally. Professor Van Aerde
subsequently accepted a position at the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University, playing a senior role in their
ITS program. In addition, Dr. Van Aerde was active in the
private sector where he successfully pursued the commercialization
of the INTEGRATION model. Dr. Van Aerde was one of the inaugural
directors of ITS Canada.
This
$5,000 scholarship is awarded annually for graduate studies
in intelligent transportation systems, and is tenable at any
Canadian university. The selection committee will recommend
an award based on academic ability, stated career objectives,
demonstrated understanding of ITS, an interview with the supervising
professor (if applicable), and supporting letters of reference.
To be eligible, candidates must be Canadian citizens or landed
immigrants, and registered as full-time students in a graduate
studies program at a Canadian university.
