Howell Li's research focuses on transportation engineering, particularly traffic signal control, connected vehicle technology, and how vehicles communicating with road infrastructure can improve traffic flow and safety measurement. Work includes deployments and evaluations of connected vehicle systems on real highways, as well as methods for estimating traffic signal timing and detecting vehicles at intersections using trajectory data. The publication record shows a strong emphasis on applied, deployment-oriented transportation systems research.
