Dr. Mattingly’s areas of research include a wide variety of projects. The state-funded research projects include work on evaluating existing highway right-of-way for accommodating high-speed passenger rail, evaluating overheight detection devices, managed lane pricing and weaving, institutional approaches for interjurisdictional system management and detection and mitigation of roadway hazards for bicyclists. The federally-funded projects include: developing public health performance measures for transportation infrastructure, engineering sustainable engineers, evaluation of the Anaheim advanced traffic control system field operational test (SCOOT performance and assessment of institutional issues), documenting the institutional issues associated with the Irvine integrated corridor freeway ramp metering and arterial adaptive control field operational test, impacts of the Northridge Earthquake on traffic network performance, and determining the safety impact an end-around taxiway.
