Kiewit Lab\'s Task: Traffic Flow Alerts
Motorists could gain more street smarts from research at the Peter Kiewit Institute and funded by a $1.6 million grant. Beginning this summer, a lab focused on intelligent transportation systems will study how best to get to motorists the data collected by traffic detectors. The research could have such real-world implications as alerts about current conditions and forecasts for later conditions - all delivered directly to motorists in their cars or on their cell phones.
