2016 CUTR Annual Report

A Message from our New Director On behalf of all faculty, staff and students at the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, thank you for taking the time to review our 2016-2017 Annual Report. With nearly 120 full-time research faculty, staff, and student research assistants and an Advisory Board of national and local business and transportation leaders to guide the organization, CUTR has enjoyed more than 28 years of continued success in conducting relevant and timely research and analysis and delivering education, training and technology transfer for sponsors at the local, state, and federal levels.

CUTR’s vision is to be the preeminent and internationally-recognized catalyst for transportation innovation. We provide solutions through transportation research, workforce development and outreach. Our work is multimodal and multidisciplinary, and as you’ll see in this Annual Report, we focus on public transportation, intelligent transportation systems, traffic operations, safety, pedestrian, bicycle and motorcycle safety, connected and automated vehicles and more.

Having joined CUTR in August 2016, I am honored to be serving in this new role as CUTR director and professor of civil and environmental engineering here at USF. I am grateful for this opportunity to work with such a talented and entrepreneurial team. We are thankful for support from our many sponsors including the USF College of Engineering, our Advisory Board, the Florida Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Transportation and many others. During this academic year my initial goals for CUTR include:

·

·

100 in 100 – Meeting with 100 stakeholders during my first 100 days.

·

Defining the future of public transportation: CUTR is the place where the region, state, nation and world turn to define the future of sustainable mobility and accessibility.

Moving the needle: Identifying key measures, such as Vision Zero, where we can partner with others to make measurable advancements.

I hope the following pages will inspire you to learn more about CUTR, our high standards for research and innovation, and that you’ll join with us to continue improving our multimodal transportation system for our fellow citizens.

Center for Urban Transportation Research

Freight Mobility, Trade, and Logistics

ITS, Traffic Operations & Safety

Mobility Policy Research

This interdisciplinary research group focuses on the intermodal movement of goods and commodities in support of domestic and international trade as well as statewide and regional multimodal transportation planning.

The FMTL research team is a collaborative effort of CUTR, the USF College of Engineering, and the USF Muma College of Business. Team members bring decades of research experience in transportation systems, freight logistics, strategic supply chain management, international logistics, risk analysis and sustainability. Research specialties include, but are not limited to, commercial vehicle operations, freight transportation and logistics, economic analysis of freight investments, economic and environmental impacts of congested freight corridors, analysis of congested freight corridors on travel time reliability and increased cost of goods, ports and maritime freight/logistics, supply chain management and reverse logistics, freight demand modeling, freight network modeling, resilient system design and operations, land use and freight transportation interactions.

This program actively pursues innovative projects and collaborations to develop and apply new concepts and technologies to solve real-world transportation problems. Researchers specialize in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), automated vehicles, traffic engineering and operations, vulnerable road user safety, naturalistic behavior studies, congestion mitigation strategies, incident management, commercial vehicle operations, freight management, traffic simulation, street lighting level measurement, traffic impact studies, trip internalization in multi-use developments, public opinion surveys and analysis, educational outreach, and implementation of effective paid media campaigns.

CUTR’s Mobility Policy Research Program conducts a variety of policy-focused research initiatives targeted at blending knowledge of the technical, economic, political, and social aspects of transportation with appropriate theory, data sources, and research methods to gain a richer understanding of transportation and provide policy guidance for addressing transportation problems. Specific areas of expertise include travel behavior theory, public transportation, transportation and land use, impacts of emerging technology on transportation, performance measurement, evaluation, and data analysis.

Motorcycle Injury Prevention Institute (MIPI)

National Bus Rapid Transit Institute (NBRTI)

Planning & Corridor Management

MIPI conducts research and educational outreach to prevent vehicle injuries and deaths focused on motorcycles. The institute’s engineers and public health professionals have significant experience with motorcycle safety promotion techniques including theory-based motorcyclist behavior change; areas of expertise include data collection, analysis and visualization, epidemiology of motor vehicle collisions and injuries, crash modeling, behavior safety program development and evaluation, traffic safety policy including TZD (Toward Zero Death), and regulation development and evaluation.

NBRTI is a renowned international program of training, technical assistance, research, and innovation. Sponsored by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), it was created at CUTR in 2001 to serve as a resource to transit agencies, consultants, and government agencies that are planning, designing, engineering, building, or operating BRT systems. NBRTI’s mission is “to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and innovation for increasing the speed, efficiency, and reliability of high capacity bus service through the implementation of bus rapid transit systems.”

For more than 20 years, this program has delivered high-quality applied research, policy development, and technology transfer services for public, nonprofit, and private sector clients on a range of contemporary transportation planning topics. Knowledgeable program faculty bring together public and private sector experience to address client needs. Program focus areas include metropolitan transportation planning, multimodal planning, access management, and public involvement.
