Title: Visualizing and Predicting Hours of Service Violations 
More Information: We performed a study of 293,464 Hours of Service violations taken from approximately 85k drivers and 15k motor carriers. In the study we developed an interactive analytical dashboard, maps of the violations, and animations to help us understand HOS violation patterns. In additional to visualizing violations, we have developed a random forest decision tree model for classifying and predicting when and where violations will occur using historical driving patterns, violation patterns, and weather patterns. The most common HOS violation is when a driver neglects to take a 30 minute break at least once every 8 hours. The time when violations occur most frequently is on Friday afternoons, presumably when drivers are stretching to get home for the weekends.  View

Title: Visualizing Urban Freight Movement by Leveraging Mobility Data Portals 
More Information: Analyzing and visualizing traffic stream data in order to better understand traffic behavior, safety concerns, and capacity needs is a need of the hour. Due to the insufficient interaction between old-fashioned traffic congestion and incident data analysis tools, it is essential to find contemporary visualization techniques to identify traffic problems using historical or real-time data. The main goal of this study is to offer a new visualization technique that shows the volumes and speeds of freight-purpose vehicles within a 5-minute interval.   View
