Induced Demand Assessment Framework: A Guide
This project will help to address the need for information on induced demand by developing and piloting a guide that provides a framework for State DOTs to consider induced demand effects in various applications of transportation policy development, planning, and project development.
Collaborative Research: Frameworks: MobilityNet: A Trustworthy CI Emulation Tool for Cross-Domain Mobility Data Generation and Sharing towards Multidisciplinary Innovations
This is a multi-disciplinary effort to develop a database using a variety of mobility datasets. VTC’s role will be to assess the usability of this system, MobilityNet, as a useful tool for transportation planners.
The New Jersey Induced Travel Calculator
The New Jersey Induced Travel Calculator was developed to allow users to estimate how much new traffic is generated when a new road or new lane is built.
Newark Light Rail Origin-Destination and Intermodal Choice Study
Specifically, we will seek to understand whether automobile drivers exiting from I-280 (at exit 13) can transfer to the NRL at the Orange Street NRL station (or other locations).
Tracking Transportation Behavior Changes as the Pandemic Recedes
We are now collecting an additional round of data on the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on how people work, travel, and engage in commerce, to track these changes over time with the aim to determine whether these changes persist.
SCC-IRG Track 2: Making Micro-mobility Smarter and Safer (M2S2)
The objective of this project is to use methods, create tools, and test the tools in the service of the needs of real communities in order to explicitly integrate both the social and technology solutions to improve safety.

Crash Data Availability and Best Practices Across the U.S.: Lessons for New Jersey
Objective While fatal crashes are available through the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and are readily available to the public, many states do not make their crash data easily accessible for the public and the research community. The public has an interest...
Understanding How Marginalized Genders Travel Using NJ TRANSIT
Through this research, NJ TRANSIT sought to understand how women and members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer plus community, sometimes referred to as sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) travel on NJ TRANSIT so the agency can provide better...
Assessing Pedestrian Stress with Biometric Sensing and Survey Responses
Recent advances in biometric sensing technologies, such as eye tracking, heart rate trackers, and galvanic skin response (GSR) sensors, offer new opportunities to measure pedestrian stress level and their travel experiences in real-time. Uncertainty remains about...
GPS-Based Street-View Greenspace Exposure and Wearable Assessed Physical Activity in a Prospective Cohort of US Women
Background Increasing evidence positively links greenspace and physical activity (PA). However, most studies use measures of greenspace, such as satellite-based vegetation indices around the residence, which fail to capture ground-level views and day-to-day dynamic...
