Biking where Black: Connecting transportation planning and infrastructure to disproportionate policing

Transportation Planning and Quality of Life: Where Do They Intersect?

Policy makers and researchers are increasingly recognizing the connections between public health and transportation, but health improvements are typically framed from a physical health perspective rather than considering broader quality of life (QOL) impacts. Currently, there is a limited understanding of the ways in which transportation and QOL intersect, and little is known about how metropol...

Ethics and Policing in Black America

Research Question: What role, if any, does ethics play in policing Black America. The criminal justice system has a race problem (Obama, 2017; Alexander, 2010). Data shows that racial disparities exist within corrections (Robertson, 2014). The numbers of minorities that are entangled within the courts, the number of arrests made by police and the numbers of unarmed blacks who have recently been...

Transportation Planning and Modeling

Temporal planning for transportation planning and scheduling

Many problems in transportation can be represented as flow problems, and can be optimally solved using efficient linear programming techniques [BIIM77] [BGAB83]. But in some cases this approach is seriously oversimplified. If the problem includes dependencies between different operations, planning is necessary. If the system parameters change dynamically, the assumptions on which flow models ar...
