Fall 2018 Transportation Research Seminar,  presented By Pravin Varaiya


40% of all crashes, 50% of serious collisions and 20% of fatalities occur in intersections

Many cities in California have developed Vision Zero plans, seeking to eliminate traffic injuries and deaths through physical modifications to the road infrastructure.  However, these modifications can be expensive and have mixed safety results. Crashes in intersections occur because vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists are missing critical information. Intelligent intersections report the traffic signal from all approaches, predict when the signal phase will change, relay information on blind spots, and predict red light violations before they occur.

Pravin Varaiya is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley.  His current research is devoted to transportation networks and electric energy systems.
