SUNY Poly Launches Transportation Research AI Lab

SUNY Poly recently established a Transportation Research AI Lab (TRAIL), located in Donovan Hall, which will serve as a hub for innovation in smart transportation, sustainability, and equity, as well as traffic operation and safety. TRAIL was founded by Assistant Professor of Transportation Engineering, Dr. Abolfazl Karimpour, through a combination of external and internal grants.

“Our research team is at the forefront of pioneering advancements, utilizing data-driven AI and machine learning solutions to address transportation challenges in four key areas: operation, safety, sustainability, and resiliency,” said Karimpour. “TRAIL focuses on research, education, and workforce development initiatives. Students using TRAIL are supported by these funded projects, gaining hands-on experience in transportation analysis, data analysis, and how to apply this knowledge to benefit the public.”
