Elementary school students at Alachua County Public Schools have been learning about transportation through lively discussions and hands-on STEM activities led by Ondine Wells, the STRIDE Center’s K-12/Technology Transfer coordinator at the UFTI. At each of the school visits, Wells facilitates a discussion with students related to what engineering is and how different types of […]

A project funded by the Southeastern Transportation Research, Innovation, Development and Education Center, which is the U.S. Department of Transportation’s grant-funded, Regional (Southeastern) University Transportation Center (UTC) housed at the UFTI, is being led by Research Assistant Professor Dr. Clark Letter. The research team includes Dr. Lily Elefteriadou (UFTI professor and director) in collaboration with […]

Cement and concrete (C/C) can behave differently if proportions, materials or processing steps are not correct, and this can lead to big changes in performance. Currently, empirical methods derived from equations and tables can predict the behavior of new cement mixes. However, the use of computational methods based on the property of materials from C/C […]

This year’s UTC Conference was hosted by the Center for Connected Multimodal Mobility (C2M2) at Clemson University, which attracted students, faculty, staff, state DOT representatives, and other transportation professionals in the southeast region. The STRIDE Center was one of the co-sponsors of this event, and several students, faculty and staff representing the Center were in […]

Dr. Ruth Steiner, a professor in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at UF, is leading the Safe Routes to School Technical Assistance Program, which will provide expertise to counties within Florida to implement infrastructure improvements around schools with limited resources. Safe Routes to School is a nationwide program that aims to make walking […]

STRIDE hosted a workshop on “Managing Performance – From Active Transportation Management to Connected Vehicle Applications” at the ITS5C Summit on Oct. 7, 2018, in Jacksonville, FL. This workshop presented findings from recent work conducted by the Center to support the planning, deployment, and operations of existing and emerging management strategies. The workshop covered topics such […]

Title: Operations of Modular Transit Vehicles under Oversaturated Traffic Abstract: Dynamic capacity design holds promise for reducing the energy consumption of urban mass transit systems, e.g., urban rail transits, bus rapid transits, shared autonomous vehicles. In this study, we investigate the joint design problem of dispatch headway and vehicle capacity for a transit system under […]

Title: UF & UAB’s Phase I Demonstration Study: Older Driver Experiences with Autonomous Vehicle Technology Description: The Department of Occupational Therapy’s Institute for Mobility, Activity, and Participation (I-MAP) team is working in collaboration with the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the City of Gainesville to better understand the perception, values, beliefs and attitudes of […]

This webinar series presents lectures, software demonstrations and application examples on the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) procedures – including upcoming 6th Edition updates. Step-by-step instruction of the HCM methodologies will be provided for each analytical chapter. The Highway Capacity Software (HCS) implements and automates the HCM procedures. Each lecture will be followed by working example […]

Dr. Lanshan Han presented on the Estimation of Linear Mixed Models under Joint Inequality Constraints on Friday, Sept. 14, 2018. Title: Estimation of Linear Mixed Models under Joint Inequality Constraints Abstract: Linear mixed models (LMMs), which allow both fixed and random effects, are a classical extension of linear models. They are particularly applicable when there […]
