Transportation Research
The transportation research conducted by NYU Tandon and its collaborators promises to reinvent our transportation system by developing the most effective mobility, safety, logistics, and planning and operational solutions to these extremely challenging problems in an ever-changing world.
With connected and driverless vehicles, a growing shared economy led by companies like Uber and Lyft, electric cars, and big data from thousands of transportation-related apps empowering travelers, the field of transportation is currently going through a revolution. Transportation as we know it will cease to exist as a result. However, perennial transportation problems will continue to persist, perhaps not in the same way we have studied them in the last century: congestion, traffic accidents, air pollution, fuel consumption, overtaxed freight systems and a crumbling transportation infrastructure.
Research Centers, Groups and Faculty
C2SMARTER
C2SMARTER aims to accelerate transportation opportunities arising from unprecedented recent advances in communication and smart technologies.
Behavioral Urban Informatics, Logistics, and Transport Laboratory (BUILT)
BUILT @ NYU conducts research in the area of transportation systems design and modeling.
Emerge Lab
The mission of the EMERGE lab is to make it easy and efficient to develop capable, safe, and intelligent multi-agent systems through learning, simulation, and data. We emphasive use-inspired basic research where we draw inspiration as to what research is needed from specific problems in multi-agent autonomy and transportation.
FEATS: Lab For the Economic Analysis of Transportation Systems
Led by Assistant Professor Daniel A. Vignon, the lab aims to inform the design, regulation, and operations of emerging mobility services. Research looks at infrastructure systems, ride-hailing services, and dynamics of transportation systems.
