Harrison Fraker is an award winning architect and Founding Partner of the Princeton Energy Group. Recently, he led an initiative to design three transit-oriented neighborhoods for Tianjin, China, a city of 11 million. The idea in this design is not just green buildings but whole systems, encouraging officials to integrate planning for power, water, waste and transportation for better environmental results. Fraker teaches design studio and architectural internship program and current research activity includes affordable manufactured housing, urban design, sustainable development and ecological design.

Alexander Skabardonis is Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, and Director of California PATH at the University of California at Berkeley. His major research interests and areas of expertise include traffic flow theory, traffic management and control systems, transportation modeling and analysis, design and operation of transportation facilities, intelligent transportation systems, energy and the environment.

Carlos Daganzo is known for his theoretical contributions to econometrics, network theory, logistics, port operations and traffic flow. He is author of four books: Mulitnomial Probit: The Theory and its Application to Demand Forecasting (Academic Press, 1979), Fundamentals of Transportation and Traffic Operations (Pergamon-Elsevier, 1997), Logistics Systems Analysis (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions, Springer-Verlag, 1991, 1996, 1999, 2005), and A Theory of Supply Chains (Springer, 2003).

In addition to being a professor of city planning, Elizabeth Deakin is Director of the University of California Transportation Center and a member of the affiliated faculty of Berkeley’s Master of Urban Design Program and the Energy and Resources Group. Her research and teaching are focused on transportation and land use planning and policy, institutions, and law, and environment and energy issues. Deakin has published widely on intelligent transportation systems, transportation pricing, and sustainable transportation fuels and technologies. Relevant publications include Sustainable Development and Sustainable Transportation: Strategies for Economic Prosperity, Environmental Quality, and Equity (IURD, 2003) and Metropolitan Profiles: Development Patterns, Socioeconomic Characteristics and Transit Use: 1960-1995 (IURD, 1997).

Samer Madanat specializes in the problems of managing the maintenance and rehabilitation of transportation facilities. His research and teaching interests include infrastructure management and transportation investment decision making, with an emphasis on the econometric modeling of facility performance and the development of optimal resource allocation and intervention policies in the presence of prediction uncertainty. In 1999 he received the Science and Technology Award from the Office of the President of the University of California for his proposal to improve the way infrastructure maintenance decisions are made. The award is given annually to one faculty member in the UC system. He is the author more than 60 articles in refereed archival journals and refereed conference proceedings, including ?Analytical Solution for the Finite-Horizon Pavement Resurfacing Planning Problem?, Transportation Research, Part B, Vol. 40, No. 9, pp 767-778, 2006. In 2001, he was chosen to become the Editor-in- Chief of the ASCE Journal of Infrastructure Systems, for which he had served as one of the Associate Editors for several years.
