As a research assistant at RPI, Sofia is working on three projects related to freight. In collaboration with the Inter-American International Bank, freight routes in developing countries are being studied for their cost effect on the supply chain as well as their environmental impacts due to congestion. On this project she is in charge of using TransCAD (a GIS software) to position and analyze the routes. Closer to home, a survey is being conducted targeting carriers making deliveries to Manhattan NY in order to create a discrete choice model to model parking behavior.  MORE about Sofia Kyle

Abraham Oyewole is currently pursuing a Masters of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Rowan University Glassboro New Jersey. His primary research area is real-time transportation data analytics. His masters research focuses on developing reservation-based traffic network optimization (RTNO) that will combine traffic related data collected by the existing road network infrastructures with user specific data, such as social network data and GPS travel information, to solve traffic congestion. His research is co-advised by Dr.  MORE about Abraham Oyewole
