Dr. Xilei Zhao of the University of Florida is leading a STRIDE-funded project that is looking at how Mobility-on-Demand (MOD) transit systems can contribute to building smart, sustainable, and equitable cities in the U.S. The project includes a large groups of researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Alabama […]

Mosammat Tahnin Tariq is a doctoral student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Florida International University working on developing signal timing strategies during non-recurrent congestion in the arterial network by using advanced analytics and emerging data sources. Her doctoral adviser is Dr. Mohammed Hadi at FIU. Tariq is motivated by the challenge […]

Luan Guilherme Staichak Carvalho is a doctoral student affiliated with the University of Florida Transportation Institute who specializes in machine learning and mathematical optimization. As novel technologies such as connected and autonomous vehicles emerge, Carvalho is applying this knowledge to the optimization of urban intersections. Carvalho is working with Dr. Lily Elefteriadou at the University […]

Lindsay Martin Oluyede is a doctoral candidate at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, specializing in transportation decision-making. Specifically, she became interested in transportation equity and inclusive transportation decision-making while working at the consulting firm ICF after completing a master’s degree in urban and regional planning at Virginia Tech. “While at ICF, […]

Dr. Shuang Tu of Jackson State University is leading a STRIDE project that aims to develop a computational pipeline of a near-crash diagnostic system to identify near-crash events. The STRIDE-funded project is titled “Automatic Safety Diagnosis in Connected Vehicle Environment”. “The system exclusively uses raw Basic Safety Messages (BSMs) in the Connected Vehicle (CV) environment […]

A first-ever Women in Transportation Initiative (WITI) Internship Program was established at the University of Florida this spring 2020 with the assistance of the STRIDE Center. WITI is a flagship program of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Office of Small Business (OSDBU) focused on encouraging young women to pursue careers in the transportation industry. […]

STRIDE Project I Recent statistics show that interstates serve over 25% of the nation’s total Vehicle Mile Traveled (VMT) and over 40% of all truck VMT. Incidents are one of the most frequent and most impactful contributors to unreliable travel times on freeways. Improving travel time reliability on freeways is very important, particularly given the […]

STRIDE Project O2 With the development of automation and connectivity technology, there will be more connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) entering the road network. Before all of the existing human-driven vehicles (HVs) are replaced by CAVs, there will be a long transition period where CAVs and HVs are mixed on the roadway. Equipped with vehicle-to-vehicle […]

STRIDE Project B2 As the National Highway System ages, an increasing number of work zones have been implemented to address maintenance and construction needs. However, the reduced operating speed, narrowed lane width and shoulder clearance, and other construction activities have not only resulted in crashes but also caused excessive delays. Although the freeway work zone […]
