Using Lighting to Alter Driver Behavior

Safety and traffic flow issues are related to drivers selecting inappropriate speeds when driving. For example, at some curved interchange exit ramps, drivers may go too fast, increasing the risk of rollover crashes, especially for heavy trucks. At other locations, perceived 'bottlenecks' in roadway geometry may cause some drivers to slow down more than is appropriate, resulting in variations among vehicle speeds, and increasing the likelihood of traffic congestion, delays and rear-end crashes.  MORE about Using Lighting to Alter Driver Behavior

On-Road Energy Harvesting for Traffic Monitoring

The highway transportation plays a very significant role in the nationwide economy and society development, including in UTRC2 area. For the routine traffic management and future planning of the highway infrastructure and other transport systems associated with it, a reliable traffic monitoring system is highly needed along the highways. Inductive loop is the most widely used method for the real-time traffic information nowadays. However, the cost-effective, convenient and reliable power supply needed for the traffic monitoring system is still a big challenge.  MORE about On-Road Energy Harvesting for Traffic Monitoring

Vehicle Classification Using Mobile Sensors

Vehicle classification information is crucial input to transportation facility design, operations, and planning. As freight transportation is becoming more and more critical to regional and national economies, freight modeling is now an imperative issue for many transportation management agencies, for which truck classes and volumes are key input.  MORE about Vehicle Classification Using Mobile Sensors

Estimating Multi-class Truck Origin-Destination Flows Through Data Fusion from Multiple Sources

Efforts to manage truck flows in congested urban areas have important implications not only for congestion relief, but also for air quality improvement and reductions in energy use. A vital input to these flow management efforts is knowledge of the origin-destination (O-D) movement patterns for various classes of trucks, and this presents a substantial challenge.  MORE about Estimating Multi-class Truck Origin-Destination Flows Through Data Fusion from Multiple Sources

Bridge-Vehicle Impact Assessment

Project Description

The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is experiencing close to 200 bridge hits a year. These accidents are attributed to numerous factors including: improperly stored equipment on trucks; violation of vehicle posting signs; illegal commercial vehicles on parkways, etc. The objectives of this research are to:  MORE about Bridge-Vehicle Impact Assessment
