Director’s Message Dear Colleagues, An important purpose of research is to make its way into practice. Over the past year and as our research projects are being completed, we are preparing workshops and webinars and setting the gears in motion for the Center’s technology transfer activities in 2015 and beyond.

A listing of STRIDE ongoing and completed projects, including those funded through cost-sharing, are provided in Pages 11 – 16 of this annual report. We are planning tech transfer events for many of these to disseminate the findings and products of our work. Our tech transfer activities during 2014 are summarized on Page 20. These include the annual UTC Conference for the Southeastern Region, the WTS Transportation Symposium at the University of Florida, and the STRIDE Student Poster Showcase and Competition during TRB. Our educational efforts are summarized on Pages 18-19 and include an overview of our Transportation Research Internship Program (TRIP), as well as spotlights

on various students from the STRIDE-affiliated universities. On Page 29, find out where some of our STRIDE alumni are now.

Congratulations to Dr. Louis Merlin, formerly of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, for being selected as the STRIDE Center’s Student of the Year for 2014! Congratulations also to Dr. Virginia Sisiopiku, associate professor at the University of Alabama, for being named an ITE Fellow!

Spotlights on STRIDE Students David Farris (Auburn University) In January 2013, Dr. James Willis launched a sustainable pavements graduate course at Auburn University through a STRIDE-funded project. Out of the six graduate students involved in the pilot program, some decided to focus on this topic for their theses, including David Farris, who was completing a master’s degree in civil engineering with a focus on pavement and materials engineering. For his graduate research, David is investigating the use of Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) with the main goal of drawing conclusions about the activation of RAS in Asphalt Mixtures. David completed his master’s degree in May 2014. He is now a graduate research assistant at the National Center for Asphalt Technology in Auburn, as well as working as a corporate technical manager at Recovery Technology Solutions. In his spare time, he dabbles in photography and amateur programming and tinkers with electronics and microcontrollers.

Don Watson (University of Florida) Don Watson is a fourth year Ph.D. student in Civil Engineering at UF, focusing on transportation engineering. As part of his Ph.D. project, he is working with Dr. Scott Washburn on the NCHRP 1765 project titled “Improved Analysis of Two-Lane Highway Capacity and Operational Performance.” His task in this project is to evaluate current methods for incorporating the effect of trucks in two-lane highway operational analyses. The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) currently uses passenger car equivalent (PCE) values to account for the effect of trucks. This approach has been subject of criticism, due to PCEs not being sensitive enough to the characteristics of truck performance and interactions with geometry. This issue can be even more profound on two-lane highways, where geometric alignments can be widely varying. In addition, truck performance characteristics have improved considerably since the last update to the HCM two-lane highway analysis methodology. At the very least, new PCE values based on current truck performance are needed. Using both field and simulation data, Don will compare the HCM PCE approach to other alternatives used to capture the effect of trucks. He will utilize two simulation tools to generate the simulation data—TransModeler and SwashSim. TransModeler is a commercial simulation tool, maintained and distributed by Caliper Corporation, while SwashSim is a custom tool developed and maintained by Dr. Washburn. One of the key features of SwashSim is the ability to model individual vehicle characteristics and dynamics in great detail; thus, being able to account for the effects of roadway design features on vehicle performance with more accuracy than other simulation tools. Don is currently helping Dr. Washburn incorporate the vehicle movement logic specific to two-lane highway operations (such as passing in the oncoming lane) in SwashSim.

Jack Halsburg (University of Florida) Jack graduated from UF with his master’s degree in civil engineering focusing on transportation engineering. He worked on a STRIDE project with Dr. Scott Washburn titled “Emissions Modeling and Implementation into Traffic Micro-Simulation,” researching the various ways in which vehicle emissions are measured. Currently, Jack works as an analyst in transportation planning and traffic operations for Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., in West Palm Beach, Fla. Gökçe Palak (Mississippi State University) Gökçe studied in the Ph.D. program of the Industrial and Systems Engineering department at Mississippi State University. Having completed her Ph.D. dissertation in August 2013, she graduated in December 2013. During the last year of her graduate program, she worked with Dr. Sandra Eksioglu on a STRIDE funded project titled “Analyzing the Impact of Carbon Regulatory Mechanisms on Supply Chain Management,” which aims to develop models that minimize replenishment related costs in the supply chain, while accounting for the carbon emissions due to transportation and inventory holding. Gökçe is currently working as a visiting assistant professor of quantitative methods in the Harry F. Byrd, Jr. School of Business at Shenandoah University for the 2013-2014 academic year, after which, she would like to continue a career in academia. She has been taking lessons to learn the flute and loves theater.

Bahareh Inanloo (Florida International University) After completing a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and a master’s degree in water resources and environmental engineering, Bahareh turned to a Ph.D. in environmental engineering to continue focusing on research. Now as a Ph.D. student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Florida International University, Bahareh is working under the supervision of Dr. Berrin Tansel on the STRIDE project titled “Consequence Based Route Selection for Hazardous Material Caro: GIS-Based Time Progression of Environmental Impact Radius of Accidental Spills.” The project aimed to assess hazardous material cargo routing options to reduce potential risks due to spills and ultimately provide tools for developing strategies to minimize risks of transportation accidents which impact human health and safety as well as environmental quality.

Activities at STRIDE Consortium Universities

Enrique Peñalosa Londoño

Dr. Lesley Ross

Dr. Daniel Rodriguez Hosted Former Mayor of Bogota, Colombia at UNC Chapel Hill

Enrique Peñalosa Londoño, who served as Bogota’s mayor from 1998 to 2001, was invited by UNC Chapel Hill to give a public talk on “Cities, Equity and Quality of Life.”

Mr. Peñalosa Londoño believes that, “An advanced city is not a place where the poor move about in cars, rather it’s where even the rich use public transportation” and that, “A bikeway is a symbol that shows that a citizen on a $30 bicycle is equally important as a citizen on a $30,000 car.” The former mayor interacted with UNC and Duke University graduate students and with local leaders to discuss decision-making related to sustainable transportation topics. Mr. Peñalosa Londoño worked as a journalist and consultant on urban and transportation policy. He is a politician who co-founded the Green Party of Colombia and a presidential candidate for the country’s elections.

Former STRIDE Researcher is ViceChair of Safe Mobility for Older Person TRB Committee

Dr. Lesley Ross, formerly at UAB, is ViceChair of Safe Mobility for Older Persons Committee at TRB. Dr. Ross, who is the co-PI on the STRIDE funded project titled “A Naturalistic Driving Study Across the Lifespan,” will once again serve as the vicechair of the Safe Mobility for Older Persons Committee TRB Committee. She is now an assistant professor of Human Development and Family Studies at Penn State University.

WTS & ITE Student Chapters North Carolina State University (NCSU)

The focus for NCSU’s ITE Student Chapter for the 2014 school year was on increasing participation among undergraduate students and all members at regular chapter meetings. NCSU ITE worked with transportation professors on sharing the benefits of ITE with their undergraduate students. Members actively sought input on speakers for monthly business meetings.

A frequent request was to highlight how research can be beneficial outside of an academic setting. Additional topics include a focus on the public outreach phase of projects, the difference between working in the private sector versus the public sector versus academia, and disseminating real-time transportation information through smart phone applications. In addition to meetings, students also participated in a semi-annual adopt-a-highway project.

Florida International University (FIU) As a newly established chapter, the Florida International University (FIU) Women’s Transportation Seminar (WTS) Student Chapter focused on promotion. A variety of academic and social activities were held, such as the Engineering Expo in February, where members presented in the IITS (Integrated Intelligent Transportation System) lab and the Driving Simulator lab, introducing transportation engineering to grade school children. In fall 2014, the chapter received official recognition from WTS International. The student chapter, in collaboration with FDOT, started a project titled “Evaluation of Downtown Pedestrian Priority Zone Strategies” in October 2014.

The ITE Student Chapter at FIU hosted 10 distinguished professionals from both the academia and industry as guest speakers in the spring and fall

of 2014. The chapter members attended the TRB 93rd Annual Meeting in Washington D.C., in January 2014, participating in poster presentations and technical sessions. Members also attended the 2014 FSITE/ SFWTS Annual Meeting in Boca Raton in November 2014, and participated in poster presentations and other technical sessions. The chapter won the “ITE District 10: Student Chapter Award” for outstanding activities throughout the previous year. Chapter member Xuanwu Chen received two awards: “District 10: Henry P. Boggs Student Paper Award” and “Bill McGrath Scholarship.”

In February, the chapter hosted a webinar on Talking Technology and Transportation (T3): “Educating Students for ITS Careers: Are Universities Meeting the Challenge?” The speakers and participants discussed ITS education programs in FIU as well as the educational needs for the delivery of ITS learning.
