Research Overview & Focus

This researcher has conducted extensive studies at the intersection of traffic safety and road durability, applying principles from physics to assess the long-term physical integrity of transportation systems in mountainous environments. Their work focuses on evaluating brake failure-related crashes, particularly in Wyoming, highlighting the impact of road surface conditions on accident severity. Additionally, they have developed predictive models using time series analysis to forecast future crash costs after road upgrades like the US-16wyd downgrade, emphasizing the need for comprehensive cost-benefit analyses in public policy and engineering planning.
