Sharing the potential of game engines to enhance transportation
10/16/23
At the 2023 Modeling and Simulation (MODSIM) World 2023 Conference in Norfolk, Virginia, ISTL Director Kevin Hulme, PhD, and his team of transportation engineering researchers presented their findings in the application of different video game engine simulations to enhance transportation research.
UB part of $2.3 million project to make solar energy production more resilient
10/16/23
External Collaborators: Yanlin Guo - Assistant Professor, Colorado State University, United States Department of Energy (DOE) Renewables Advancing Community Energy Resilience (RACER)
UB joins Tier 1 University Transportation Center to enhance nation’s transportation infrastructure
10/16/23
External Collaborators: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Purdue University, Louisiana State University, University of Texas San Antonio
Integrating seismic protection systems into nuclear power plants
10/16/23
All nuclear power plants are required to have a significant level of resistance to the effects of earthquake shaking, but the safety-grade nuclear equipment is generally large and routinely custom-made for each nuclear plant. Whittaker’s team will simplify plant design and standardize the equipment to drive down cost and speed construction.
Accelerating the use of integrated incident management system (IIMS) for traffic incident data collection and management
7/18/22
Traffic incidents have significant negative impacts on the safety and efficiency of overall transportation system performance. The transportation community has consistently strive to improve the transportation incident management process. This project demonstrates the ability of the NYSDOT, GDIT and IIMS to improve traffic incident management.
