Intelligent Transportation Systems Laboratory Current Projects Reports
Principal Investigator: R.L. Bertini
Complete Year: 2008
SPONSOR: National Science Foundation
BUDGET: $400,000
ABSTRACT: The performance of our transportation infrastructure critically affects our nation's economy, security, environment and quality of life. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are one means for improving the efficiency, safety and sustainability of our transportation system. The mission of this career proposal is to develop and evaluate methods to archive, mine and analyze real-time ITS data, using infrastructure-based sensors, video and dynamic floating probes. Using these resources, we will develop partnerships with local transportation agencies to develop a data archive; implement and test an improved performance measurement platform; expand our understanding of basic traffic flow principles underlying models of traffic flow through systematic assessment of freeway bottleneck behavior; and develop improved traffic flow models and model components. In turn, we will enhance these tools with a greater understanding of model uncertainty propagation. The research agenda will guide the enhancement of required and elective undergraduate transportation courses, incorporating information technology and projects using real transportation data. Further, we will develop new graduate courses focused on the use of real transportation data, involve undergraduates in multidisciplinary research teams and expand our undergraduate civil engineering profession seminar and campus-wide seminar series. These activities will support the proposed outreach program which includes a summer transportation academy for underrepresented high school students, partnership with the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry including construction of a bilingual transportation data exhibit in the new Technology Hall and outreach to attract more Portland/Oregon high school students to science and engineering PRODUCTS: Data Archive Webpage is now online: Papers: Links: Getting Kids Involved in Transportation:
