Transportation Engineering

 

Research in transportation engineering covers various topics including traffic system operations and control, intelligent transportation systems, transportation planning, transportation network system analysis, travel behavior and demand modeling, resilient infrastructure systems and health monitoring, and highway safety. Specifically, the program focuses on new mobility technologies and systems and considers the intersection of travel behavior, economics, engineering, regulation, and infrastructure as technology and business forces lead to new mobility options, such as automated and connected vehicles, electric vehicles, vehicle/ride sharing, and micromobility.
