Year 2 Core Projects

This year 2 project will further investigate and evaluate equity in the public engagement processes used in state transportation planning and project design.

This project explores the use of Virtual Reality (VR) as a public involvement tool in transportation planning, offering an immersive experience to engage communities in proposed project designs.

This project continues exploring Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles in public transit stations to enhance community safety.

This project proposes to enhance a decentralized traffic signal controller based on a Nash Bargaining game-theoretic framework, integrating a Kalman filtering (KF) algorithm for real-time traffic state estimation.

This project focuses on developing an agent-based model to optimize door-to-door freight movement by simulating container flows across multimodal networks.

This project aims to leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance the analysis of public complaints and suggestions related to transportation systems.

This research investigates the implementation of a human-in-the-loop Connected Cruise Control (hCCC) system for enhanced driver safety and fuel efficiency.

This project will employ a synthetic population approach to examine the influence of public charging infrastructure on electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Maryland.

Building on a successful initial phase, this project aims to further develop a Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) testbed at Morgan State University.

This project proposes to improve a framework for analyzing and optimizing interrelated transportation infrastructure projects under conditions of uncertainty.

This project explores sustainable planning and asset management practices for transportation systems in small urban and rural communities.

This project aims to assess the vulnerability of non-motorized transportation infrastructure to climate change and urbanization, particularly in low-income areas.
