Chen-Fu Liao is responsible for developing ITS interdisciplinary initiatives for undergraduate and graduate courses. After joining the ITS Laboratory in 2002, Liao began supporting simulator use and developing simulation-based modules for several transportation-related courses in the civil and mechanical engineering departments. Recent research activities include: the development of a suite of simulation programs that can be easily incorporated in the undergraduate courses; evaluating adaptive signal priority strategies for buses using wireless communications technology; studying non-automobile mode transportation patterns; and supporting advanced monitoring of traffic signal data, including generating real-time performance measures.
