This summer I had the opportunity to research with NAU’s transportation engineering department. I’m still involved, and I’m learning tons about operational efficiency and safety analyses. I worked closely with Sam Taylor, NAU ITE Chapter president. We spent long hours in our very isolated traffics lab processing data in ArcGIS (now we’re cooped up in our new research lab, thank you Dr. Russo and Dr. Mohebbi!). Oh man, we did a lot now that I think of it. The most exciting part that we did through this research was sharing our information to the transportation community. Sam recently presented at ITS Arizona Conference in late September, and before that we both presented in a T3e Webinar! We also took part in NAU’s Engineering & Science Fair for middle school students. Sam’s paper was also recently approved for presentation at TRB’s upcoming conference early next January. I’m very excited to continue working with Sam before he graduates in May, and hopefully he pursues a doctorate’s degree here in Arizona! Here are some images of Sam presenting in the webinar and practicing his presentation for the webinar.
