Principal Investigator
Dr. Kate (Kyung) Hyun is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). Her research centers on big data analytics using Intelligent Transportation Systems technologies for various applications including community mobility modeling, traffic monitoring and operation. Dr. Hyun is currently conducting research on the topics of equity in transportation and community resiliency using neighborhood data and large-sized vehicle trajectories and pedestrian and bikers travel behavior. The USDOT, North Central Texas Council of Governments, and the City of Arlington support her current research. Much of her previous research focuses on applied research topics and is published in Transportation Research Board (TRB) publications and peer-reviewed journal papers.
