Mining social media data to deduce useful information about present or future travelers’ behavior, with a special emphasis under events, including both planned and unplanned.
Harnessing the power of big data to address transportation challenges.
Designing a transportation data-warehouse prototype for the Buffalo-Niagara region and demonstrating its usefulness through a specific application.
Conducting a detailed, multivariate statistical assessment of pavement treatments by public-private partnerships, and studying their performance in terms of extending pavement lives.
The project suggests a bottom-up travel behavior driven approach which obtains trends in individual travel behavior first and use such information to enhance longitudinal origin-destination demand monitoring.
Examining in-vehicle and infrastructure-based technologies to assess how they might impact emergency responders, particularly EMS.
Understanding and expressing public transit system utilization based on fundamental travel behavior.
Exploring historical incident and traffic data to revolutionize response strategies.
Developing the tools needed to process immense amounts of data, develop new performance metrics based on the data collected, and propose methods to enhance performance.
Analyzing traffic violations and traffic crash records to develop a probabilistic model that will help detect high risk drivers with the main goal of preventing future crashes.
Creating a mobile computer application for documenting and sharing data regarding vehicular accidents.
We mine a wealth of data by employing a wide variety of methods, tools and models, including those from artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, statistics, and database systems.
When these methods are applied to large datasets that have been appropriately compiled and fused together, the result is invaluable and actionable information that can help improve the efficiency, safety, sustainability and resiliency of transportation systems. Our results inform and guide transportation planning, investment decisions, and transportation policies.
Upcoming Events
This symposium includes informative lectures, discussions, and enlightening activities, and will showcase not only the experience and innovative thinking of our speakers and guests, but TransInfo's ability to present Transportation Informatics in a way that is both stimulating and relevant.
Changing The Way The World Works
SSISTL's Benefactor and Professor of Practice, Stephen Still, is featured in UB's We Are Boldy Buffalo Campaign. Stephen gave $4 million to support the Stephen Still Institute for Sustainable Transportation and Logistics. His gift–and many other gifts–are being immediately invested in opportunities for faculty and students to address society’s biggest transportation challenges.
