Dr. Jochen Teizer is an Assistant Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He has been working as a researcher and consultant in the area of construction engineering and management, remote sensing, real-time pro-active resource detection and tracking, data processing and modeling algorithms, work zone safety, automation and emerging sensing technology systems since 1991. Jochen Teizer is the founder and director of the Real-time Project Information and Decision Systems Laboratory (RAPIDS) at Georgia Tech. The RAPIDS laboratory is a unique facility in the United States that focuses on developing and applying innovative technologies and methods improving the construction and transportation performance. The current research focuses on real-time resource location tracking mobile laser scanning, automated three-dimensional as-built modeling, advanced safety in heavy equipment operation and work sites, virtual decision making environments and learning tools. The RAPIDS research team is actively involved in projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Construction Industry Institute (CII), the National Cooperative Highway Research Program's (NCHRP), and the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). RAPIDS reaches out and receives support from many other organizations and industry partners.
