Corey Harper

In his role as the director of the Future Mobility Systems Lab he leads a team of researchers who explore the infrastructure and policy implications of emerging transportation technologies (e.g., autonomous vehicles and micromobility). The accessibility analysis side of his team uses mulit-source data to assess how policy, regulation, and decision making could affect the travel time and affordability to different destinations. The modeling and simulation side of his group is focused on incorporating new mobility modes (e.g., micromobility and e-commerce) into regional traffic demand models to promote better long-range planning of the transportation system. Dr. Harper's research has been supported by a number of public agencies, private firms and foundations including NSF, U.S. DOE, U.S. DOT, Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), Sloan Foundation, and Zipline. 

Prof. Harper serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Trnapsortation Engineering, Part A: Systems and was previously a Young Member of the Vehicle Highway Automation Committee. Before becoming a professor, Dr. Harper was a consulting at Booz Allen Hamilton, helping USDOT and DOD with the integration of connected and automated vehicles.
