This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA Program 47.041 (Engineering) provides $272,546 to support research on multimodal transit services that combine fixed-route public transit with shared mobility options. The objective is to develop an optimization framework that accounts for user behavior, systematic uncertainties, and the inherent complexity of different transportation modes. The research aims to (i) advance theories and computations in transportation and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support a $499,971 research study conducted by the University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The study aims to create a new longitudinal dataset from the American Community Survey to analyze how changes in transportation infrastructure and teleworking affect commuting behavior, distance, and wage growth. The research will help state and local governments...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will promote progress in data science to support smart transportation systems. The funding of $317,374 over 3 years, starting on October 1, 2024, will establish a theoretical framework for quantifying the value of data from various sources in a transportation network. The project aims to: 1) quantify how changes in data affect estimates of network performance metrics to identify important data...
