Stanislav Parfenov, a master’s of science candidate in civil engineering at Polytechnic/NYU, will work in the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) Division of Traffic and Planning. His NYCDOT supervisor is Mike Marsico. The work will focus on effects of street closures on New York City’s street network through the development of dynamic and static simulation models, which will be based on datasets of newly created NYCDOT’s Traffic Information Management System supplemented by taxi GPS data from the NYC Traffic and Limousine Commission.
