Connected Cities with Smart Transportation (C2SMART) | NYU Tandon School of Engineering

Connected Cities with Smart Transportation (C2SMART)

C2SMART aims to accelerate transportation opportunities arising from unprecedented recent advances in communication and smart technologies.

C2SMART, a Tier 1 USDOT University Transportation Center, leads transportation research efforts at NYU and provides opportunities for students to work on real-world urban mobility problems.

The main research priority of this solution-oriented center is “Mobility of People and Goods in Urban Areas” with a focus on “Smart and Connected Cities.” Rather than just focusing on developing technologies to make a city smarter, C2SMART is dedicated to a related critical step: how to connect these disparate technologies with cities of different population and infrastructure scales and different systems of systems. The NYU Tandon-led UTC includes University of Washington at Seattle, University of Texas El Paso, Rutgers University, and City University of New York, which explore and field-test innovations in their home cities.

Current Projects
C2SMART has six research areas: Connected & Autonomous Mobility, Shared & Micromobility, Infrastructure Resiliency, Safety in Transportation Systems, Big Data & Planning for Smart Cities, and Equity & Accessibility.

Labs

Transportation Management

BUILT @ NYU

The Behavioral Urban Informatics, Logistics, and Transport Laboratory conducts research in the area of transportation systems design and modeling. Typical products of this lab may include dynamic operating policies for flexible transport services, a parking pricing and information system for travelers, a decision support tool for evaluating multimodal infrastructure investment strategies, or a fleet routing algorithm for autonomous vehicles or other cyber-physical transportation systems. The lab is a part of the Center for Urban ITS within Tandon, and is headed by Professor Joseph Chow.
