The
Center for Transportation Studies at the University of Missouri-St.
Louis is currently
the lead research university in the Greater Cities Universities
Initiative Program,
developing three of the nine research proposals, which has a potential
of $650,000 in
research funds for UMSL. Another consideration for additional funding
is the $200,000
add-on project through the Midwest Transportation Consortium. These
funds will would
permit us to support ten additional graduate students in addition
to the six currently
on board.
We
have also opened discussions with the Missouri Department of Transportation
on the
feasibility of developing a highway viewing and recording research
area to study the
phenomenon known as "Highway Incident Management." Traffic, once
interrupted by
an accident, roadwork, or some other slowdown, takes considerable
time to return to normal. We would like to study alternative ways to return traffic to its
normal flow as quickly as possible.
