RESEARCH
The transportation systems engineering faculty is involved in a wide range of research topics. Many of the projects are interdisciplinary in nature and involve faculty and students from other academic programs. Current research topics include:
- new planning methods for transportation investment,
- analysis of truck only toll lanes,
- enhanced methods for monitoring and modeling travel behavior,
- analysis of driver safety in the conversion of carpool to high-occupancy toll lanes,
- analysis of airline passenger behavior,
- application of advanced technologies in the transportation system,
- development of new models for estimating vehicle emissions,
- improved concepts for intermodal transportation,
- sustainable development and transportation,
- application of geographic information systems in program management, and
- development of decision support tools for infrastructure management.
Transportation faculty also maintain labs and web sites devoted to their specific projects. Links to these sites are listed below, alphabetically by last name:
