Darcy Bullock, professor of civil engineering and director of the Joint Transportation Research Program, has been chosen along with his research team, to receive the second annual Corps of Engagement Award from Purdue's Office of Engagement. The award recognizes outstanding partnership and achievement in engagement.

Bullock and his team were recognized for developing performance measures for improving traffic performance based on real-time data they collected, as well as creating annual reports on travel characteristics using crowd-source data from mobile phones and vehicle telematics. Their nomination also cited their work on the Indianapolis South-Split project, Purdue football traffic management, and the help they provided the State of Indiana in recovering a greater portion of the cost of damage to state property during auto accidents. James Sturdevant, director of traffic management for the Indiana Department of Transportation, was among those providing letters of support.

Sharing in the award with Bullock are his team members: Christopher Day, Alexander Hainen, Deborah Horton, Steven Lavrenz, Howell Li, Michelle Mekker, Teresa Morris and Stephen Remias.
