About

Transportation engineering research and outreach

Hisham Jashami

Dr. Hisham Jashami conducts research in the areas of transportation engineering with an emphasis on applied research in traffic operations and traffic safety. Additionally, he works to develop more robust design standards by using big data and the integration of machine learning for CAVs that account for the mixed-mode environment likely in place in the next decades. Dr. Jashami leverages the naturalistic driving and micro/macro simulation as well as crash data along with a significant array of field data collection tools to improve understanding of how road user behavior changes in response to roadway and traffic characteristics. By employing experimental design and complex modeling techniques, his work aims to advance the state of the art in autonomous vehicle technologies, ensuring improved safety standards in transportation engineering. Dr. Jashami has contributed to the development of two new traffic signal head configurations and a detection system, and novel methods of human-in-the-loop simulators through programming (Python and C++) and database techniques. Dr. Jashami’s mental model revolves around developing systems that continue to serve the public. He is also a certified Road Safety Professional Engineer. Read more
