Undergrads present research on curved road traffic behavior at UCUR Conference

March 03, 2022 12:40 PM
Civil engineering student, Shannon Andersen, presented her research on Vehicle to Everything (V2X) data analysis at the 16th Annual Utah Conference on Undergraduate Research (UCUR), held on February 25, 2022. The aim of Shannon’s research was to develop a method to analyze the speeds and braking patterns of vehicles traveling around curves using V2X data. Using R, Shannon created a method to translate V2X data onto a road centerline, calculate distances from start of deceleration to the start of the curve, and present color-coded data points on an interactive map. This method could be used to determine the optimal locations for warning signs and help to advance studies in traffic behavior on curved roads.
