I appreciated the opportunity to serve on the M.S. thesis committee for Pam Johnson and the doctoral dissertation for Sirisha Kothuri this week - both successfully defended their thesis/dissertation, and I want to thank them for including me in this important step in their lives! Sirisha's dissertation is titled "Incorporating Pedestrian Considerations into Traffic Signal Timing," and Pam's thesis is titled "Bicycle Level of Service: Where are the Gaps in Bicycle Flow Measures?" Congratulations and best wishes to Pam and Sirisha!
Tom Kristeleit, a visiting MS student from the research group of Prof. Klaus Bogenberger, Universität der Bundeswehr München (University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich Germany), presented his research on the state of the art in freeway ramp metering on Thursday June 5, 2014.
