| Dr. Wunderlich is an expert in the use of simulation and modeling techniques to evaluate the effectiveness of technologies and policies intended to reduce congestion and improve system-wide efficiency in congested urban roadway/transit networks. He is a key contributor to projects sponsored by the USDOT Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program office, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Operations, FHWA Office of Research and Development, FHWA Office of Interstate and Border Planning, and the Federal Lands Division of FHWA.
Dr. Wunderlich directed evaluations of 511 services, congestion maps, broadcast radio traffic reports, urban truck reliability, and personalized congestion services. He invented a widely-referenced analytical method that applies dynamic programming techniques to archives of observed roadway congestion to quantify the impact of regular traveler information utilization by urban commuters. Dr. Wunderlich is also active in the study of delays and travel time variability resulting from work zones. Working with the Federal Lands Division of FHWA, Dr. Wunderlich led the development of a work zone delay estimation tool tailored to meet the needs of rural road construction projects.. Dr. Wunderlich is an innovator in the development of organizational forms and governance structures for open source research communities for FHWA. These communities ensure open access to archives of high-value data and software code developed with federal funds and promote coordinated collaborative research among community members..
Dr. Wunderlich received a Ph.D. and a M.S. in industrial and operations engineering from the University of Michigan and a B.S. in industrial engineering and management sciences from Northwestern University and is the author or co-author of a number of professional publications.
