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...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $107,388 to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) to develop a framework for analyzing the impacts of local economic shocks on urban areas. The project will assemble fine-grained data on new business openings, commuting patterns, and land prices to evaluate predictions of quantitative spatial economic models. The research aims to improve these...
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.
