Statewide Active Transportation Count Database (SATDB-003)

Sirisha Kothuri
Knowing how many people use walking and bicycling infrastructure is crucial for transportation planning. Active transportation projects can help cities and states achieve multiple climate- and public-health-related targets, and a new project launching in 2024 can help further those goals:… Read More

Working Towards Operationalizing Equity into the Research Process

Aaron Golub
While our researchers are experts in various aspects of transportation research, not all researchers have the tools to address equity topics in their research or conduct their work following good equity practices, ranging from data collection and analysis to supporting underrepresented students as… Read More

Expanding Transmobilities: An Art-Informed Methodology For Genderdiverse Travel Behavior

Nicholas Puczkowskyj
There is a significant gendered travel behavior research gap in the transportation literature.

Despite the practical and sustainable mobility benefits of e-bikes, personal ownership and maintenance are considered barriers to adoption (Fitch et al., 2022). Lending e-bikes may address some of the challenges of shared micromobility programs, such as ease of access and payment, but comprehensive… Read More

Improving Accuracy and Precision of Bicycle Volume Estimates Using Advanced Machine Learning Approaches

Sirisha Kothuri Banafsheh Rekabdar
This study presents a novel approach to bicycle volume estimation using data fusion techniques that integrate crowdsourced data (e.g., Strava) with traditional count data. We aim to improve the accuracy and robustness of bicycle volume estimates in different regions by using deep learning… Read More

Risk-Based Methodology for Structural Evaluation of Bridge-Sized Culverts

David Yang Kevin White , Timothy Wood
Many long-span culverts are subject to loads from heavy trucks, and thus need to be evaluated for their load carrying capacities to estimate safety margins. However, the current manual on bridge evaluation provides limited guidance for bridge-sized culverts due to their distinct structural… Read More
