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

Business Location Data Analysis and Editing Interface Tool Development

One of the most important aspects of transportation planning is understanding employment information of businesses and organizations. Information such as location of employment, size of organization or business in terms of employees, sales, can provide valuable input to understanding travel patterns and human activities. Visualizing this information along with several administrative, transportation and infrastructure facilities provides key contextual information to transportation planning agencies.  MORE about Business Location Data Analysis and Editing Interface Tool Development

Performance Evaluation of Asphalt Mixtures Statewide

Currently, asphalt mixtures are design using volumetric concepts to determine optimum asphalt content levels with no means of verifying mixture performance prior to field production and placement. A new design methodology called Balanced Mixture Design (BMD) promotes the use of evaluating and design asphalt mixture using rutting and fatigue cracking methods and criteria to achieve an optimum asphalt content that will result in an asphalt mixture performing well in rutting and fatigue cracking scenarios – thereby “balancing” the asphalt mixture performance.  MORE about Performance Evaluation of Asphalt Mixtures Statewide

Evaluation of Light Emitting Surface (LES) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) Roadway Luminaires

This project will determine the technical feasibility and potential energy savings of light emitting surface (LES) technologies for roadway lighting compared to light emitting diode (LED) and high-pressure sodium (HPS) systems. Based on the research results from this project, NYSDOT may install LES luminaires on a pilot basis to evaluate field performance over time which may then lead to a broader scale installation along the State highway system to replace existing HPS/LED luminaires, or as part of future new highway lighting installations.  MORE about Evaluation of Light Emitting Surface (LES) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) Roadway Luminaires

Coordinated Intelligent Transportation Systems Deployment in New York City (CIDNY)

The FHWA, through its New York Division/New York City Metropolitan office is promoting programs pertaining to urban Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the region. The NYCDOT and NYSDOT-Region 11 Planning have taken the initiative in working with FHWA to take advantage of this FHWA program.  MORE about Coordinated Intelligent Transportation Systems Deployment in New York City (CIDNY)

Effects of Foreign Participation on U.S. High Speed Rail Projects

After the end of World War 2, American passenger railroads declined when they were unable to compete profitably with automobile and airline transport. In 1971, the federal government nationalized passenger service, and eliminated over half of existing passenger lines. Meanwhile, during this same period, many foreign countries were developing and building new high speed train lines: Japan, in 1964; France, in 1981; followed by other Asian, European, and Scandinavian countries.  MORE about Effects of Foreign Participation on U.S. High Speed Rail Projects

Inferring High-Resolution Individual’s Activity and Trip Purposes with the Fusion of Social Media, Land Use and Connected Vehicle Trajectories

Inferring Individual’ activity and trip purposes is critical for transportation and travel behavior. State-of-Art trip purpose inference is conducted by GIS and land use data. However, there exist two major challenges: 1) how to identify accurate trip purposes in a high business density area with various possibilities of activities. 2) how to recognize high-resolution activities, which are much more than typical trip purposes (home, work, recreation, personal business, education, etc.) in existing literature.  MORE about Inferring High-Resolution Individual’s Activity and Trip Purposes with the Fusion of Social Media, Land Use and Connected Vehicle Trajectories

Exploring Applications for Unmanned Aerial Systems and Unmanned Ground Systems in Enhanced Incident Management, Bridge Inspection, and Other Transportation-related Operations

While the dream of an automated vehicle-highway system has been around for some time, we are witnessing a convergence of technologies that promise to make that dream a reality. Connected vehicle technology and other intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have potential to dramatically transform safety and mobility on the United States’ roadways. These technologies include advances in wireless communications, sensing, control, computing, and automation.

Mobile Bridge Scour Monitoring Using Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

Infrastructure monitoring, inspection, and management is one the nation’s top priorities in ensuring the aging infrastructure is in a state of good repair. Maintaining expected performance levels for various infrastructure elements has become increasingly challenging in recent years, due to a number of factors, two of which include limited availability of funding, and increased occurrence and severity of extreme weather events. In particular, over 21,000 bridges over water have been deemed scour critical in the United States, with the numbers expected to grow.  MORE about Mobile Bridge Scour Monitoring Using Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

Utilizing Digital Exhaust from Smartphone Applications for Transportation Planning, Continuous Measurement and Market Analysis

This proposal aims to take a critical look at how new technologies used by transit riders can transform transportation. We are interested in the question “What do riders do after they get travel information?” This research project will explore this question using a new “big data” source generated by travelers looking for real-time transit and shared-mobility information through a smartphone application called Transit App, as well as other large scale data sources.  MORE about Utilizing Digital Exhaust from Smartphone Applications for Transportation Planning, Continuous Measurement and Market Analysis
