The Pennsylvania State University received a $200,309 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on May 1, 2021 to complete a research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ECONOMIC MODELING AND CONTROL METHODS FOR NEXT GENERATION CARPOOL SERVICES" by April 30, 2024. The grant was awarded under the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), which seeks to improve quality of life and economic strength through innovative engineering research and education. Specifically, the university will conduct research to develop economic modeling and control methods that can help optimize future carpool services, with the goal of reducing traffic and pollution. The three year project period and funding amount suggest this collaborative research aims to yield practical solutions applicable to transportation network challenges.
