Our research examines how people and organizations respond to new technologies and disruptions. We model how these responses affect infrastructure demand and performance, and use the results to inform decisions about system design, investment, and operation.
Our current work applies a common behaviorally informed systems perspective across four interconnected domains.
We develop models for locating facilities, designing transport networks, and planning low-carbon energy infrastructure. Applications include e-commerce logistics, hydrogen transportation, and the collection and recycling of electronics and EV batteries.
We study how cyberattacks and physical disruptions affect transportation services, and how agencies can prepare and recover. Our work covers public transit, connected intersections, and the geography of the transportation cybersecurity industry.
We examine how remote work, online activities, and new mobility services change everyday travel. Our work focuses on generational differences, car use, and the adoption of shared and automated transport.
We study how street networks, transportation services, and urban form affect access to everyday destinations. Our work covers 15-minute cities, walking and cycling, and differences in infrastructure access and investment across communities.
