Dr. Ramo has said that one of the purposes of this series of talks was to try to "close the gap" between the information technologists and the applications of their technology in the real world. If this is one of our primary objectives, I don't believe there is a field in which the gap between the technologist and the application is so great as in the area of urban planning, of which transportation is a part. There's definitely a gap between the person who knows the problem and the person who knows how to solve the problem. The reasons for this gap are historical and complicated. There's no need to go into them at this time, but the gap, I think you'll discover from this talk, very definitely exists and needs to be closed.
