Description: The purpose of this project was to produce an interface for traffic incident managers that would improve their performance and provide traffic insights based on big-data analysis.

 

Role: I planned and implemented the research activities associated with this project. Specifically, I: 

• Supervised 11 undergraduates students over the course of the project.

• Conducted one-on-one interviews with traffic incident managers to evaluate current software and a user interface prototype

• Co-authored a paper presented at the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Conference (October 2018)

• Co-authored a poster presented at the Transportation Research Board Conference (January 2018)

 

Date: This project was completed in 2018

 

Type: Research

 

Output: The output of this project was a detailed task analysis of traffic incident managers and a new interface design to detect, respond, and report incidents.
