Research
Interests
Dr. Zhang's
primary research focus is on the transportation system analysis, traffic
modeling, traffic operations, distributed traffic simulation, traffic
control algorithms, operations research and dynamic traffic assignment.
Those areas of research have been successfully applied to solve the
problems in intelligent transportation systems, traffic engineering,
intermodal transportation, optimizing road geometric design, highway rail
grade crossing, evacuation studies, traffic control and signal systems
(include preemption and priority), work zone traffic studies,
transportation safety, and GIS/GPS application in transportation.
