Research summary
AI-generated

Jon D. Fricker's work focuses on transportation engineering, particularly how pedestrians, drivers, and vehicles interact at crosswalks and in work zones. Recent studies apply statistical and machine-learning methods, such as Bayesian modeling, game theory, and reinforcement learning, to understand pedestrian crossing behavior, driver waiting times, and safety in connected and automated vehicle (CAV) environments. The research also touches on related topics like bicycle route choice, sidewalk sharing, and the effects of COVID-19 on non-motorized travel.
