Research Description

Dr. Stone is interested in transportation engineering and systems analysis, urban transportation and land use. His past research projects include advanced aircraft, computer models for transportation planning, transportation systems evaluation, traveler behavior, environmental and community context sensitive design, transportation surveys, transportation benefits and costs, and transportation safety. Recently he has focused on truck traffic while leading projects to: characterize truck traffic throughout North Carolina; develop the first statewide transportation model for North Carolina; build a statewide truck traffic database for pavement design; and weigh very heavy trucks (132,000 - 1 million pounds).
