The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) has entered a partnership with the Transportation Group within the civil and environmental engineering department at The University of Texas at Arlington to conduct studies aimed at improving regional mobility within DART’s service area. The four-year, $240,000 partnership will involve a variety of traffic and development issues, spanning incident management and emergency response to managed traffic lanes. During the project, civil engineering Drs. Sia Ardekani and Steve Mattingly will evaluate data gathered by DART personnel and Texas Southern University, a subcontractor in the project, before recommending actions. Their first study will investigate ways to improve the identification and response to roadway incidents that have a potential to hamper DART operations, including accidents, stalled vehicles or lane obstructions. Analysis of this data will also allow them to see if some roadway sections are more prone to creating incidents and the severity of the resulting congestion.
