Dr. Yan Wang, Dr. Lili Du, Dr. Shigang Chen, along with Dr. Ruth Steiner, have teamed up to work on a recently awarded project by the National Science Foundation (NSF) that will study curb space uses of urban communities and develop strategic management to adapt increasingly diverse and conflicting curb space uses in response to emerging vehicular technologies and mobility innovations. The NSF project is titled “SmartCurb: Building Smart Urban Curb Environments”. The project team will form novel research problems from socio-technical perspectives in the context of campus-downtown settings, develop academic and community partnerships with the necessary knowledge to address the problems, and prepare testbed “Smart Curb” environments.
