Joshua Corman, the director of the Cyber Statecraft Initiative at the Atlantic Council Brent Scowcroft Center, spoke as part of the U.S. DOT Volpe Center's 2017 speaker series, The Ongoing Transformation of the Global Transportation System.

U.S. DOT's Volpe Center is hosting its annual Cybersecurity Conference & Expo. This annual event features guest speakers from government agencies and private industry to discuss current cyber threats and best practices to combat them. 

Dr. Kristin Lewis presented "U.S. DOT Volpe Center’s Freight/Fuel Transportation Optimization Tool: Exploring Future Energy Scenarios." The Volpe Center has developed flowable, multimodal transportation optimization tool used to evaluate the costs, transportation requirements, and impacts of future freight scenarios, particularly those focused on the energy sector. Current analyses are evaluating potential alternative and fossil fuel transport scenarios. Dr. Lewis discussed what the tool does and how we’re using it.

The next 15 years will look different than the last 15 years. What will we do with that knowledge? In his talk at Volpe, General Darren McDew discussed challenges and opportunities that are coming over the next decade-and-a-half. Will we build on the solid foundation of our relationships and get after the challenges of tomorrow today? Will we find ways to challenge our thinking and norms and identify the people, technology, and processes that will deliver success?
