Initials Areas of Research
Overview
The Center is currently involved in threes areas of research: Network Congestion, Network Resiliency and the Economics of Network Congestion. Our efforts in Network Congestion research are focusing on finding solutions to packet loss, Quality of Service, latency and jitter problems introduced when IP networks become overloaded. Investigation into Network Resiliency involves determining how well a network may be able to absorb widespread damage before significant mission effectiveness is lost. Our investigations surrounding the economics of network congestion are currently focused on assessing likely congestion conditions and toll revenue projections when travel reliability is established as the foundation for financial transactions between transportation system user and transportation system operator.
