Research Safety

Group Leader: Dr. Siva Srinivasan

Dr. Siva Srinivasan is an associate professor in the Department of Civil & Coastal Engineering with an affiliate appointment in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning. His research expertise is in the areas of travel demand forecasting, transportation safety, and transportation analytics. He was the former chair of the TRB committee on Effects of Information and Communication Technologies on Travel Choices and is a current member of the editorial advisory board of the journal Transportation Research Part B. In March 2023, Dr. Srinivasan was appointed as Associate Director of UFTI.

Mission

To develop and deliver databases, analytical methods, software tools, and professional capacity to provide end-to-end solutions (problem diagnosis to countermeasure deployment) for enhancing safety in all transportation modes  and to facilitate integrated assessments of traffic operations and safety benefits of transportation projects.
