Steve Bryan, CEO of data mining software company Vigillo, has been named to the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) of the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI). The RAC is charged with recommending a research agenda.
Bryan is filling a vacancy on the committee that was created due to a resignation. He will complete that seat’s current term, which runs through Dec. 31, 2014.
“ATRI is a progressive organization that prides itself on innovative thinking and critical analysis,” said Bryan. “It is an honor to be selected to serve on this committee. The goals and vision for ATRI align with ours at Vigillo. Vigillo takes huge amounts of data and synthesizes it into a format that is easy to understand. Similarly, ATRI is interested in research and presenting research data in a way that will be most useful to the trucking industry.”
The Research Advisory Committee is comprised of government officials, independent scientists, labor union officials, academics and trucking company executives and suppliers from a diverse cross-section of the industry, all who understand the importance of sound science to an industry as complex as the trucking industry.
“Our Research Advisory Committee is comprised of a wide range of trucking industry veterans and forward thinkers,” said Rebecca Brewster, president & COO of ATRI. “Steve’s knowledge of big data mining and analysis will be an asset to the RAC’s deliberations in identifying top research priorities.”
ATRI is part of the American Trucking Assns. (ATA) Federation.
