People on the go and their modes of transportation are what civil engineering doctoral student Benjamin Bacon is studying. He was granted one of 10 Airport Cooperative Research Program Graduate Research Award Fellowships, an honor sponsored by the Transportation Research Board and the Federal Aviation Administration. Bacon’s research, which gained national recognition, analyzed travel behavior by looking at groups of travelers over a period of multiple travel times. By accounting for multiple trips, Bacon’s research aims to enable industry representatives to promote service and focus funds, as well as develop schedules and meet market demands more effectively.
