Smart/Connected Transportation

The primary goal of this proposal is to investigate the stated definitions of equity in transportation and the current plans, statements, and goals that consider eliminating inequity and unfair distribution of benefits.

The goal of this proposal is to develop and assess an innovative real-time proactive safety monitoring system based on the trajectory of road users (e.g., cars, pedestrians, and cyclists) collected by video cameras.

This proposal will develop a digital twin for urban mobility, the Mobi-Twin platform, focusing on enabling the microscopic accurate modeling and simulation of Urban Mobility System of Systems with the emerging self-driving grade high-resolution 3D data.

This primary goal of this research is to develop new design of electrified pavement that have durable performance while providing efficient charging functionality. The research results will contribute to the development of electrified roadway that provide energy source for electric vehicles.

This project will establish the pilot Smart Intersection Mobility (SIMO) testbed in downtown New Brunswick for the collection, processing, visualization, and application testing with the smart mobility sensor data.

The purpose of this study is to explore and document both positive impacts autonomous vehicle (AV) transportation, aka a self-driving car, could have on persons with a broad array of disabilities and other transportation issues, as well as challenges that may hinder their successful usage of this revolutionary technology.

This research will create proposed design plan for a connected/electric vehicles test bed, a simulation model for scale up, and preliminary system architecture.

The proposed research will develop a cloud-computing platform for state-wide traffic video data analytics. The platform will use the existing 511 CCTV traffic video streams to generate traffic flow and occupancy data to enrich the existing TRANSCOM data feed primarily containing travel time and event data. The added flow…

The primary goal of this research is to examine the effectiveness of ATP implementation on a major interstate highway carrying freight traffic under various traffic conditions, given managed strategies. ATP managed lane strategies would include:

• ATP-dedicated lane on the left-most lane
• ATP-dedicated…
  

Statistics show that travel on the United States highway system has increased five times over the past 50 years from 600 billion, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) in 1956, to 3 trillion VMT in 20061. In addition, the freeway system is aging and in need of rehabilitation and reconstruction, particularly at interchanges. At th…
