With the Autonomous Vehicles at Intelligent Intersection and Advanced Networks (AVIAN) team, I examined optimization of autonomous and connected vehicle trajectories at signalized intersections. During my time, I devised a detailed experimental plan for testing functionality of the software and hardware for enhancing traffic signal control operations with autonomous, connected, and conventional vehicle trajectories. Additionally, I worked with Dr. Ruth Steiner on a STRIDE project, "The Challenges of Predicting Travel Behavior on Estimating Trip Generation: Local Traffic Impact Assessment in Four Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic States", by conducting interviews with state and local planners.
