Connected Cities with Smart Transportation
Using MATSim-NYC, the BUILT Lab at C2SMART simulated a proposed network redesign to improve the level of service for the users as well as reduce the operating costs for the MTA. Bus network redesigns will impact travelers’ mode, route, and departure time choices, and the synthetic population in MATSim-NYC allows simulations to incorporate potential impacts on all of these to generate optimally designed transit routes.
As part of USDOT’s Connected Vehicle Project, C2SMART researchers at New York University – in collaboration with NYCDOT and industry partners JHK and Harman – recruited volunteer participants with vision disabilities via local and national organizations to help conduct field tests of a phone application, PED-SIG, which could improve mobility of pedestrians with vision disabilities to navigate safely and independently through New York City.
C2SMART is delighted to congratulate Daniel Ortiz, a graduate research assistant with the Rutgers Infrastructure Monitoring Evaluation Group (RIME), on his selection as the 2022 Council of University Transportation Center Student of the Year Award.
C2SMARTER Urban Roadway Testbed C2SMARTER researchers, in partnership with NYCDOT, have designed and implement cutting-edge sensor technology to monitor, evaluate, and address both long- and short-term structural health needs of
The Equitable Commute Project (ECP), on which C2SMART is a core partner, has been selected as one of six finalists in NYSERDA’s Electric Mobility Challenge. As a finalist, the ECP is eligible to win one of three $7 million awards to help low-income essential workers in transit deserts commute and travel throughout the city.
Senator Brian Kavanagh and Assembly member Jo Anne Simon announced that their BQE Overweight Truck bill (S2740B/A2316) was signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul. The new law authorizes a pilot program along I-278 in Brooklyn allowing for the installation of state-of-the-art, weigh-in-motion technology to issue violations electronically when trucks exceed the existing legal weight limits.
C2SMART presentations at TRB 2022 include guidance for successful academic careers, understanding transport challenges to help advance equitable transportation for disadvantaged populations, 3D structural information sensing systems, bus-based hurricane evacuation modeling, and more.
Autonomous mobility must be evaluated under more ambitious and holistic standards. This project aims to develop a Responsible Autonomous Mobility framework.
As C2SMART heads into its sixth year of projects, we seek to develop and fund projects which will be bigger and bolder than ever before. We are looking for projects
Application season is upon us! As students decide what to study, and why, we want to provide the opportunity to learn about the many forms that a career in transportation can take, from “traditional” engineering jobs to cutting-edge technology development and roles in policy and urban planning.
