The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded Brigham Young University a $199,941 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) on August 15, 2021 for work completing July 31, 2024.
The grant funds research into point process models for traffic risk analysis and crash prevention. Specifically, BYU researchers will analyze traffic patterns and develop mathematical models to better understand risk factors for vehicle collisions. Insights from this research could help transportation officials enhance road safety and prevent crashes through improved infrastructure design, traffic control systems, and driver education. The work advances the NSF's goal under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and increase understanding of problems facing the country.
