**Lawrence A. Klein** received a
Bachelor of Electrical Engineering
degree from the City College of New
York in 1963, an M.S. in Electrical
Engineering from the University of
Rochester in 1966, and a Ph.D. in
Electrical Engineering from New York
University in 1973. Dr. Klein is a
member of the National Cooperative
Highway Research Program (NCHRP)
03-145 Panel to develop guidance for
the National Traffic Sensor System
Evaluation Program and the 08-157
Panel to determine Best Practices for
Data Fusion of Probe and Point
Detector Data. He is a past member of
the Transportation Research Board’s
Highway Traffic Monitoring and Freeway
Operations Committees. He led ASTM’s
E17 Group V-ITS in developing
worldwide standards to specify,
install, and evaluate traffic flow
sensors. At the French Institute of
Science and Technology in
Transportation, Planning, and Networks
(IFSTTAR) in Bron, France, Dr. Klein
lectured at EPFL-LAVOC (Swiss
Laboratory of Traffic Facilities at
Lausanne Federal Institute of
Technology) in Lausanne, Switzerland,
and at the EU-sponsored Real-Time Road
Traffic Monitoring and Control Summer
Workshop. He was also a Visiting
Professor at the Harbin Institute of
Technology, School of Transportation
Engineering and Science, Harbin, China
for several years. At Waveband
Corporation he served as Director of
Advanced Technology Programs. While at
Hughes Aircraft Company, he was
Principal Investigator on the FHWA
Detection Technology for IVHS (later
ITS) Program. As Chief Scientist at
Aerojet ElectroSystems (TAMS
Division), he was responsible for
programs that integrated active and
passive millimeter-wave and infrared
multispectral sensors in satellites
and smart "fire-and-forget" weapons.
At Honeywell, he developed passive
millimeter-wave midcourse missile
guidance systems and millimeter-wave
sensors to trigger land mines. His
books include *Traffic Flow Sensors:*
*Technologies, Operating Principles,
and Archetypes* (2020), *Sensor and
Data Fusion for Intelligent
Transportation Systems* (2019), *ITS
Sensors and Architectures for Traffic
Management and Connected Vehicles*
(2018), *Sensor and Data Fusion: A
Tool for Information Assessment and
Decision Making* (2004, 2012),

(2006), *Sensor Technologies and Data
Requirements for ITS* (2001), and
*Millimeter-Wave and Infrared
Multi-sensor Design and Signal
Processing* (1997).
