Research summary

Benjamin Coifman studies traffic flow and vehicle movement, developing methods to collect and validate detailed vehicle trajectory data from sources like roadside cameras, lidar sensors, and instrumented probe vehicles. This data is used to evaluate and improve models of how traffic behaves, including flow, speed, and disturbances on highways, with relevance to connected and automated vehicle technologies. Students would likely work on sensor-based traffic measurement, data quality evaluation, and traffic flow modeling.
