What We Do
The Sustainable Transportation Systems Research (STSR) group aspires to achieve green, safe, efficient, and equitable transportation systems by studying and modeling transportation externalities (i.e., congestion, crashes, emissions, energy use), using state-of-the-art statistical, econometric, and economic analysis tools. The group's research thrust revolves around assessing the direct and indirect impacts of proposed transportation solution and emerging technologies, such as transportation electrification, transportation investments and policies, intelligent transportation systems, and connected and automated vehicles.
STSRG's current work is mainly focused on gaining a deeper understanding of the behavioral intention to use emerging energy and mobility choices (such as autonomous/shared autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, and electric roadways) and e-commerce. This understanding will enable a more accurate estimation of the anticipated impacts of such technologies. Of particular interest are the energy and environmental impacts of such technologies, which the research group is currently investigating.
