Towards Safer Connected Highway Systems: from Data Analysis to Modeling

Funded (i.e. seed funding) by the Simon Lee Collaborative Research Endowment (in collaboration with Korea University – KU - and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology - KAIST), the main objective of this project is to understand how connected vehicle technologies improve traffic safety and mobility at a roadway network level. The answer would entail extensive data mining and analysis, statistical modeling, driver behavioral modeling, connected vehicle systems analysis and modeling, network implementation, multiple models’ integration and calibration, simulation, sensitivity analysis, field testing and validation.
