New York City DOT Deputy Commissioner, Michael Replogle, visits the STAR Lab
This September, PacTrans and the STAR Lab were honored with a visit from the New York City Department of Transportation Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Michael Replogle. Mr. Replogle, and New York City, is interested in methods of extracting traffic information from UAV videos, mobile sensing technologies, and the STAR Lab’s DRIVE Net data analytics platform. PacTrans director, Dr. Yinhai Wang, and several student researchers had the opportunity to present several related projects currently underway in the STAR Lab. They spoke highly of the research results and express the interests for implementing our technologies on New York’s transportation management system. This was an outstanding opportunity for STAR Lab and NYC DOT to collaborate on ongoing research, workforce development, and technology transfer activities.
