Research Projects
Activity 6B: Framework for Utilization of Mobile Data Collection, ITS Resource Center. Sponsored by New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJ DOT)
Short Summary: Developed mobile data communication platform for transportation infrastructure, where tethered connection transformed into untethered connection with the help of "Bluetooth" and "Wi-Fi" technologies.
ITS Applications on Interstate-76 to Minimize Traffic Delay in Peak-Hours. Supported by Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC)
Short Summary: "VissimVAP" code was utilized to implement ITS technologies on Interstate-76 and evaluate the impact of those ITS application in the case of congestion reduction.
Impact-Based Decision Making Framework for Community-based Resiliency Planning under Extreme Storm Events. Sponsored by New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (NJDCA)
Short Summary: Utilized "Vissim" software to model evacuation traffic scenarios and later "Visual Basic" code were used to integrate with hydrodynamic model and re-route evacuees dynamically.
Reservation based traffic signal network optimization. Sponsored by USDOT Region 2 University Transportation Research Center (UTRC)
Short Summary: Genetic Algorithm (GA) was coded in "MATLAB" environment to optimize signal timing and reduce traffic delay.
Evaluating the impacts of connected vehicle technology on evacuation delay. Clinic Project in collaboration with Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville (SIU)
Short Summary: Application of Connected Vehicles (CV) technologies was evaluated on-notice evacuations using an integration of "Vissim" traffic model and "Visual Basic" code.
Risk analysis of autonomous vehicles in mixed traffic stream, Sponsored by USDOT Region 2 University Transportation Research Center (UTRC)
Short Summary: "Fault-Tree based risk analysis" method was used to identify the risk associated with autonomous vehicles deployment in mixed traffic stream.
