PERSONAL STATEMENTS
Career Goal: I plan to continue my academic career studying and teaching in transportation engineering with brief forays into university or research center administration. I enjoy managing research teams comprised of students, engineers and technicians. While I take pleasure in almost all aspects of my career, I derive the most satisfaction and personal reward from teaching and mentoring graduate students.
This section of the portfolio contains statements on the four aspects of my academic career: 1) research and scholarship, 2) professional activities and service, 3) teaching, and 4) administration. Subsequent sections provide the detailed documentation of the activities and products described here (grants and papers are referred to by number).
Research and Scholarship
Sound policy choices for many complex transportation problems are hampered by the lack of robust and relevant real-world data. In recent decades, the resources to collect large databases for model development and decision support have become increasingly limited. My research program addresses this need by filling knowledge gaps and building valid models in four data-poor areas of the field: 1) travel routing (including route choice and operating mode for emissions modeling), 2) freight transport planning, 3) bicycle transportation, and 4) traffic safety for specific drivers or circumstances. Two fundamental approaches have been used: the design and execution of survey methods to fill data gaps; and the careful design of analyses to extract valid and relevant results from limited existing datasets. This summary outlines my contributions in these four areas as well as my plans for continued research program growth.
My study of travel routes using real world route data has two foci: route choice and vehicle emissions modeling. My vehicle route choice work grew out of the study of bicycle route choice conducted in the late 1990s. Originally, my study of automobile route choice involved only survey-based preferences. One such study (paper 13, grant 6), on drivers use of telephone travel information services, were submitted in 1999 by the Kentucky DOT to the Federal Communications Commission as evidence in their consideration of reserving a nation-wide 3 digit number (511) for travel information. I moved forward to real-world route data collection between March 2002 and July 2003, when I led a field experiment to collect 10-day GPS travel route datasets from over 276 household vehicles in Lexington, Ky (grants 18 and 15). Few researchers have used GPS for this purpose, especially at this large scale. In addition, our study included a travel log to allow comparison of behavior between trip purposes, and a follow-up survey that allows comparison of stated and revealed routing behavior. The methods to extract route data from the field-measured GPS data were developed under a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) (grant 13 and paper in review 7) and were key to facilitating this current research project. A current Ph.D. candidate is comparing the actual routes used by drivers to the shortest travel time paths. Recent grants from NSF and the New England University Transportation Center (grants 25 and 24) have allowed me to expand my GPS-based route work to include vehicle emissions. On-road emissions data upon Page 4 of 35
which to develop real-world emissions models are relatively limited and second-by- second GPS data can facilitate more wide-spread collection of vehicle operating mode. Use of time-resolved mode results in more accurate emissions estimates than use of average speed as conducted in practice. Consideration of the spatial distribution of vehicle operating mode creates a key link between vehicle emissions and traffic management strategies, land use patterns and individual driver habits such as aggressiveness. I plan this to be a major focus of my research in the next three to five years.
The field of freight transportation planning has suffered, compared to passenger planning, from a relative lack of study by the public sector and academics. My research to develop field measurement techniques for truck access (paper 10), and to evaluate the potential for modal substitution from truck to rail or water (paper 14) was funded by the Kentucky DOT. In addition, my research has examined the optimal location of commercial vehicle monitoring stations (grant 8), and nationwide freight generation models that incorporate spatial autocorrelation (USDOT grant 13, paper in review 4). The study of freight flows within the small state of Connecticut (grant 17) resulted in a rare comparison of a range of data sources and techniques to model statewide truck flows (paper in review 3). Most research on this topic makes use of one data source which does not allow relative comparison and evaluation. I have been invited to speak on a range of freight planning topics at conferences and numerous community and professional outreach events. While I have often been frustrated by the relatively poor data quality for freight planning, I believe the sparse real-world freight data sources necessitate academic involvement to ensure valid model development and use. I plan to continue my role in this field as a link between public sector freight planners and the academic modelers and spatial analysts.
My initial work in the area of bicycle transportation was motivated by the dearth of crash and travel exposure data for bicycles given the relatively high fatality and crash numbers. Started in 1994 during my Ph.D. studies, this work addressed the need for large defensible datasets to measure the relative safety of bicycle travel on different facilities. This Ph.D. research, funded by a proposal I wrote (grant 1), was distinct from all previous and on-going work for my Ph.D. co-advisors and therefore I continued this work independently with my own graduate students while I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Kentucky (1996-2001). Several of my peer-reviewed journal papers (3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12) have been in the field of bicycle transportation. I have presented six conference papers (A3, B4, B5, B6, B8), made numerous invited presentations and been very actively involved in the U.S. national bicycle transportation research community. My most important contribution has been solid documentation of the higher crash, fall and injury rates for bicycles on sidewalks and paths. In addition, I have used bicycle route data for consideration of bicycle route choice and latent demand. I recently completed a study of factors affecting bicycle and pedestrian crash rates on shared-use paths with funding from the Connecticut Department of Transportation (grant 16). I intend to shift my focus to the safety and ridership impacts of bicycle lanes; an emerging critical need in the field for which there are sparse data and limited established methodologies for solid evaluation. Page 5 of 35
Rigorous measurement of traffic safety for specific drivers or circumstances is particularly challenging, not due to the lack of incident data, but rather the lack of corresponding travel exposure metrics (e.g. the amount of travel undertaken on different types of roads or miles traveled while impaired). My strategic use of existing data to measure travel exposure can be categorized into three groups: quasi induced exposure analysis (journal papers 19, 15, 9 and 8), spatial analysis of crash location using GIS (journal paper 16) and improving traffic counts as a representative measure of travel (journal paper 18). The work to investigate the safety of special driver groups has been and continues to be relatively well-funded (grants 20, 10, 4 and 2). However, some of my work in this area (paper 9, for example, resulted in a key invitation to speak at a NHTSA conference) has been unfunded. I recently completed a project on teenage drivers as Connecticut considers implementing a more complete graduated driver licensing system. I am also seeking to continue the study of older drivers, especially the impact of passengers on older drivers (paper 19 and paper in review 2), as it is a critical need given the evolving demographics of our society.
In summary, my research program has been well-funded in traffic safety, bicycle transportation, freight transportation planning and travel behavior. The dissemination of this research includes 21 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 14 conference papers, 63 technical reports, 49 conference presentations and 9 invited presentations. These works are the result of collaboration with other faculty and also numerous graduate and undergraduate student co-authors. I have specific plans to expand my research program to address emerging needs in the four areas described here. Moreover, I am eager to pursue any interesting transportation problem that lacks specific data and thereby requires either rigorous new data collection techniques or robust resourceful use of limited existing data. In the near future, my new focus will be the spatial distribution of vehicle emissions.
Professional Activities and Service
In addition to many service activities at both the University of Connecticut and the University of Kentucky, I have undertaken significant professional service at the national, state and local levels. Invitations for involvement in national level activities have been a direct result of my research in fields with limited data and analysis methods. My interactions with young students and professionals at both the national and local level have enhanced my research and teaching endeavors.
I am particularly active within the Transportation Research Board and served as the chair of the Committee on Bicycle Transportation. While I attend other committee meetings and review papers for them, my academic background and research perspective are particularly needed on the Bicycle Committee, where only a quarter of the members are academics and less than half are active researchers. My other recent national service has involved ASCEs Committee on Human Powered Transportation, two NSF review panels and one NSF on-site program review. My research contributions in bicycle and freight transportation resulted in invitations in 2000 to participate in two national level policy Page 6 of 35
roundtable events.
At the state and local level, my professional service often involves bringing technical expertise and research findings directly to practitioners and community groups. The focus of these outreach activities has most often been freight or bicycle transportation.
Within the university, in addition to the typical search and curriculum committees, I have taken an active role and particular interest in student recruiting and lab demonstrations. Whenever possible, I am keen to target these activities towards young women. I have gained significantly from my involvement with the Women in Engineering Leadership Institute, a network of American and Canadian engineering academics. This activity included co-hosting an NSF-funded national Summit of approximately 70 engineering leaders at the University of Connecticut in May 2004.
Teaching
I have taught 8 different courses: 3 undergraduate and 5 graduate level (some of these included seniors). The teaching section of this portfolio contains my teaching evaluations for these classes as well as some examples of learning activities that I have added to classes to pursue the following teaching maxims:
! Inspire students to think about the societal context in which engineering problems arise so that they can better understand the impacts of their design work. ! Integrate opportunities for students to continually improve communication skills so they can effectively demonstrate their knowledge and opinions. ! Provide students with a solid grounding in the fundamentals that underlie design techniques and computer models - i.e. the numerical and statistical basis for the methodologies. ! Use guest speakers, case studies, field trips, video and Internet technologies to help students understand the real-world applications of the science.
Over my eight years of learning to teach, I have come to appreciate that two-way communication within the classroom is essential. I no longer talk at the students but rather have successfully implemented activities that ensure student participation. Their ideas and feedback force me to say better, more relevant things that allow me to pursue and accomplish the teaching maxims noted above. Student comments have indicated that students recognize the value of this two-way communication and deem it to be effective. Page 7 of 35
The subsection on teaching in this portfolio presents components of two courses developed by me: Civil Engineering Applications of Geographic Information Systems and Transportation Safety. Within this context, examples of two particular teaching activities are highlighted: 1) student proposal development, and 2) one-page position papers. The objective of this section is to demonstrate the types of activities that I have promoted in my courses to ensure real-world relevance, broad picture thinking and development of communication skills. One example of an undergraduate and graduate syllabi is also provided.
Administration
In the fall of 2003, I accepted a three-year term as director of the Connecticut Transportation Institute (CTI). CTI is a unit in the School of Engineering reporting to the dean. The unit conducts and manages approximately $2 million of research and education programs each year. CTI includes 8 full-time professional staff, 3 full-time administrative staff and two part-time staff. Most of the associated faculty are in the civil and environmental engineering department.
Prior to 2003, CTI had a series of interim directors. Therefore, in my first year in the position, I focused on the development of a strategic plan, production of an inaugural annual report, re-organization of the unit (including the dismissal of some staff and the hiring of new staff). I directed the preparation of additional research proposals to increase funding. This year, I am focusing on CTIs administrative funding because the unit, although poised for growth, is handicapped in that it is completely soft-funded. I have recently developed and presented a proposal for an operating budget to the university administration.
While I believe my professional skills have been enhanced through this administrative position, after fulfilling my role as CTI director I hope to spend the next interval of my career focusing on further development of my research program. I certainly leave open the possibility of administrative positions in the future. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AND SCHOLARSHIP Page 8 of 35

Student Research Supervision
Supervision of Graduate Students
I have supervised eight graduate students to completion of Masters degrees. Each of these students has co-authored at least one peer-reviewed journal paper. Six of these students presented their research to regional or national conferences; a key goal in my mentoring approach for graduate students.
Since my arrival at the University of Connecticut in the summer of 2001, I have been the sole principle advisor to three Ph.D. students. In June 2002, the first two students both successfully passed their comprehensive general examinations. Their Ph.D. proposals have been approved by the Graduate School and they are expected to graduate in Spring 2005. The third student began his Ph.D. studies in the fall of 2004.
All of the graduate students that I have supervised have been supported for the duration of their program with research assistantships from research grants, start-up funds (4 semesters total) or teaching assistantships (3 semesters total). A list of current and completed graduate students is shown below.

TEACHING ACTIVITY AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS Page 25 of 35
New Courses Developed
This section of the portfolio is subdivided to highlight two courses that I developed over the last eight years. After describing each course, this section includes examples of two teaching activities I developed and how each was used in the context of that one particular class.
Civil Engineering Applications of Geographic Information Systems (Civil Engineering 525, content now in CE271)
Class Content The applications of GIS spatial database management and analysis are widespread in civil engineering. I designed this senior-level course in 1997 and 1998 with significant input from local consulting engineers as well as the UK Geography Department. The class was taught in spring 1999, 2000 and 2001 and in fall 2001 much of the material was incorporated into Connecticuts sophomore level Geomatics and Spatial Measurement class. The GIS course consisted of four segments: 1) GIS basics; 2) Global Positioning Systems; 3) photogrammetry, and 4) proposal development and independent projects.
Proposal Development as a Learning Activity It came to my attention in 1998 that the students in civil engineering were not exposed to the problem identification and project design aspects of proposal development as part of the civil engineering curriculum. Since then, I have integrated a proposal development project into my senior and graduate level classes, including the GIS applications class. This activity is not only an excellent opportunity to develop professional skills, but also a means to require critical thinking and to evaluate higher order learning with respect to the class material. Students must have a broad understanding of the material covered in a course in order to extend it beyond the class core to a project or application of their own.
In CE 525 the proposal development curriculum begins half way through the semester with a lecture that outlines when engineers write proposals and the essential components of a good proposal. We explore the differences between research, design and consultant proposals. Students are also taught how to develop budgets for their projects. Local engineers are invited from the transportation department to provide insight on what they look for in a proposal when deciding who to hire for a job. All students respond to a formal call for proposals from a fictitious non-profit agency that wants to fund research to demonstrate how useful GIS is for solving a range of problems in civil engineering. Example proposal topics have included coal mine runoff into rivers, storm water overflow impacts, highway corridor selection, wildlife preserve siting and public transit serviceability indices. Students are responsible for gathering the data they need from MPOs, web sites, or Census sources. Alternatively, some students digitize new data. The proposal development prepares students with a useful skill and stimulates critical thinking. The applications reinforce the factual information covered during the first portion of the semester. TEACHING ACTIVITY AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS Page 26 of 35
Graduate Level Transportation Safety Class (CE 635 and CE320)
Course Content Transportation Safety was a new graduate class I developed at the University of Kentucky (often co-taught with N. Stamatiadis). I will teach this class for the first time at the University of Connecticut in Spring 2005. The course is divided into four modules. The first section focuses on the issues and factors involved in road safety for passenger vehicles. The role of statistical analysis and the techniques applied in safety are considered in the second section of the course. The final two sections of the class run concurrently. Students conduct experimental analysis with a safety-related dataset based on proposals developed by them, and lectures feature field trips, panel discussions and guest speakers on the safety of non-highway modes as well as special topics such as alcohol-involved crashes. The results of the students experimental analysis are presented in both written reports and oral presentations. In the past, several student papers from this class have been successfully published in peer-reviewed journals.
Writing Position Papers as a Learning Activity I have found the one page position paper 5 a very effective tool that motivates critical thinking while providing the opportunity to target written communication skills. This activity is particularly interesting in the safety class. A writing guideline and grading scheme are provided in advance. The activity hinges on the need to effectively communicate a position, and the reasons supporting that position, in a single page. Questions without clear cut answers work best. Style and substance are graded by both students and myself. The student grading results in peer pressure which stimulates good work, but more importantly the students from different disciplines learn different writing tricks and viewpoints from each other. I provide guidance for student grading and then grade the grading so that they must be critical and constructive. The short length of the paper allows one to make thorough comments and suggestions. My comments to the students are often longer than the one page paper! The quality expectations are high and students stretch to meet them. The short paper also provides writing practice for the long reports due later in the semester. The exercises have, at times, led to heated debates among classmates on exactly what constitutes a good paper. Significant learning stems from these debates, as well as respect for those in other disciplines.

Main Course Objective: To introduce students to the areas of surveying, spatial analysis and geomatics as they apply to civil engineering and related design problems.
Lecture Content: CE 271 focuses on the tools and methods used in civil engineering to locate features in spatial terms on the surface of the earth. The central theme of the lectures is the variety of ways to measure location and the level of accuracy and appropriateness of each method for different civil engineering uses. After an introduction to global positioning systems and the use of absolute geographic coordinates, the lectures turn to planar surveying, survey control, reference datum and the calculations needed to establish a control traverse. Students must learn to calculate area, use the state plane coordinate system and the process of staking out a basic roadway element. The remainder of the course focuses on photogrammetry, remote sensing and satellite imagery and the use of the resulting spatial data in geographic information systems (GIS).
Lab Content: The lab component of the course allows students to undertake electronic measurement of angles, distance and elevation in order to use computerize CAD software to produce drawings of certain small areas and features on campus. Students will work in survey crews of four students. The lab is hands on, real-world, problem based learning you must attend. Handouts will be provided on Mondays and must be read before TEACHING ACTIVITY AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS Page 28 of 35

Course Components:
A : Class Time: Lectures and Labs
Many classes in this course will be interactive and hands on. At the end of the semester, some lecture classes will consist of laboratory exercises using software. As such, attendance is very key to success in this class.
Almost all labs are conducted outdoors. Students are required to have proper attire including gloves. You must purchase a proper survey field book from the bookstore and a pencil with 3H lead with no eraser (2H would be acceptable). Attendance will be taken in labs.
Questions and comments from students are welcome at any time during any class. In the lectures, the instructor will use slides as well as the blackboard and document camera.
B : Readings
The attached course schedule contains readings and exercises that are taken from the course text (info below) available at the bookstore. Students must read the readings before class or lab. If you are not prepared class time will be lost. Other handouts may be provided for reading as well. Note that test questions may come from the readings as well as the lectures.
6 ABET accredits engineering programs nationally and requires that certain objectives be met throughout the full four-year curriculum. Each course within the CE program aims to accomplish a subset of the complete set of ABET objectives. TEACHING ACTIVITY AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS Page 29 of 35
Elementary Surveying: An Introduction to Geomatics, tenth edition, Prentice-Hall 2002 by Paul Wolf and Charles Ghilani.
C : Tests
There will be five tests during this course (one of these will be an in-field lab mid-term exam). Each of the four in-class tests will be worth 10% of the final grade. The lab mid- term will be worth 12% of the final grade. The final exam will be comprehensive in that it will cover material from the entire semester and it will comprise 20.5% of the final grade.
D: Homework Assignments
A total of 10 homework assignments will be given throughout the semester. They have been timed to cover different chapters of the textbook and lecture topics. Therefore, the schedule is irregular and students should refer to the attached timetable and the WEBCT timetable to ensure they have homework completed at the appropriate time. Homework will NOT be graded. The solutions will be posted on WebCT on the dates indicated.
TAs are available during set office hours in the CAD lab (room 117 of Castleman) if you need help with homework. These student TAs will not necessarily have reviewed the homework but rather will serve as a sounding board for you. They do not have the solutions.
E: Lab Exercises
Students will be required to hand in their field work 7 (often in their field books) at the beginning of lectures on the days noted on the attached schedule and WebCT (usually Wednesday). It is highly recommended that you complete your field book work on Tuesday in your lab time when Ms Hoffman and the TAs can help you. Late work WILL NOT be accepted. Field books can be picked up in lecture. Six of the lab assignments will be graded in the field books and count 1.5% each of the final grade (these are labeled field book hand in on the attached schedule. One other field book exercise, the traverse calculations, will count 4%. The data you collect during the semester will be used in a final AutoCAD project worth 6% of the grade. Field book checks are also labeled on the schedule and take place before you leave the lab on Tuesdays. There are four such checks that each count 0.25% of the final grade.
F: CAD/GIS Assignments
During the semester 3 independent AutoCAD homework assignments will be assigned as indicated on the class schedule. These basic assignments are intended to prepare you for the lab project at the end of the semester. The CAD lab in room 117 of Castleman can be used at your convenience to complete the assignments. The student TAs will hold office hours in this room to assist you. Each assignment will comprise 1.5% of your grade. Engineering student computer accounts are used to access the computers in room 117. Accounts for engineering students can be obtained the School of Engineering Help Desk
7 Attendance will be taken during all labs and some GIS ArcView lectures. Students who do not attend the lab or GIS class will not be allowed to hand in the assignment from that day and therefore will receive a zero on the assignment. TEACHING ACTIVITY AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS Page 30 of 35
in room 306 of EII. Bring a photo ID. Non-engineering students must fill in a new account form at this location and their account will not be active for 2-3 days.
During the final weeks of the semester Geographic Information Systems (GIS) will be introduced. You will complete two in-class GIS assignments. Each will comprised 1.5% of your grade.

Email will be used for official course communication. Students are assumed to check email at least once every 2 days. Email is an excellent way to find me.
Main Course Goal: To introduce students to some main topics, issues and modeling procedures in transportation planning.
Course Content: The topics of CE 370 stem from the land use / transportation interaction. We will be studying the spatial organization and interaction within regions. Furthermore, we will consider a selection of models and quantitative methods that are used to predict travel demand based on land use and the transportation network configuration. The topic of travel data collection and survey design is introduced. Students will use a transportation planning software package.
Objectives: Students will be evaluated through quizzes, class presentations, projects, short papers, homework and in-class activities on the following course objectives.
1. To critically examine the urban form of a region and the role of transportation in its development, operation and future.
2. To develop common urban transportation planning models by hand and using software.
3. To understand the issues and factors that impact transportation data collection and survey design. To design and administer a basic transportation survey.
4. To appreciate the different issues facing site, regional, state-wide and freight transportation planners.
Course Components:
A : Lectures
Lectures will include presentation of background information, directions for calculation procedures, and discussions. Attendance and participation in discussions will be considered in assigning the final grade. Questions and comments from students are welcome at any time during class. TEACHING ACTIVITY AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS Page 33 of 35
B : Readings
There are two types of readings in this course. The book Edge City by Joel Garreau is available in the bookstore and will be used to motivate class discussion. Students will prepare a short paper based on this book. The class will discuss the assigned portion of the book during the lectures noted. A second set of readings are provided from the textbook Modelling Transport. These readings should be read in advance of each lecture to supplement the material presented by the instructor and to provide guidance on how to perform class projects. Homework assignments will be taken from this text in some cases.
C : Class Projects
There will be two planning model projects conducted by the students (one individually and one in pairs). In the first project students will design and conduct a transportation choice survey. In the second project students will use the planning software Transcad to model the transportation system of one Connecticut town. These projects will be graded on technical content as well as writing/presentation quality. Students will be expected to prepare a short written report and to make a class presentation on the results of both projects.
D : Quizzes
There will be two 20-25 minute class quizzes. The first one on March 12 will cover the first half of the course. The second quiz held April 23 will cover the second half. There will be no final examination in this class.
E : Short Papers
There will be four short papers prepared for this class. Explicit writing style guidance will be provided. Three of these papers will be one page long and one will be two pages long.
F : Homework
Three traditional-style homework assignments will be undertaken in this class. The assignments will be graded and are intended to provide the students with practice with the numerical details of the modeling approaches.
G : In-class Activities
Three grades for in-class activities will be given in this course. First, on March 12 all students will review and provide comments on the draft surveys designed by all other students. The quality of your constructive criticism to your peers will be graded. Second, on April 9 we will prepare panel questions for the professionals who will participate in class on April 16. Preparation of these questions in groups will be graded. Finally, overall attendance and participation in all classes will be the third in-class grade.
