Research Grants, Projects, and Awards

  • $2.5 Million DOE Grant for Emergency Responder Training on MHD ZEVs

    Dr. Pan served as the primary proposal writer and helped Dr. Xianbiao (XB) Hu obtain a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.

    This project focuses on developing training programs for emergency responders who work with medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles (MHD ZEVs). The project aims to enhance safety, operational readiness, and public confidence in ZEV technology through immersive and interactive training methods.

  • NSF Project on Autonomous Vehicles for Resilient Evacuation Planning

    Dr. Pan served as the primary proposal writer and helped Dr. Qianwen (Vivian) Guo obtain a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project, “Planning: Leveraging Autonomous Vehicles for Resilient and Efficient Evacuation Planning.”

    This project explores the potential of autonomous vehicles (AVs) to enhance evacuation planning, with a focus on improving transportation system resilience, evacuation efficiency, and mobility management during emergencies and disasters.

  • NSF Project on Multi-Layer Infrastructure Resilience under Hurricanes

    Dr. Pan serves as a Co-PI on the National Science Foundation (NSF) supported project, “Proposed Activity Group: Multi-Layer Infrastructure Network Response and Resilience under Hurricane Disasters”

    This project investigates the response and resilience of multi-layer infrastructure networks under hurricane disasters, with a focus on infrastructure interdependencies, disruption propagation, and system-level resilience.

  • Winner of the INRIX MetroLab Challenge

    Dr. Pan is a winner of the INRIX MetroLab Challenge for the project, “Empirical and Predictive Modeling of Network-Level Resilience under Hurricane-Fueled Wildfire Risk: An INRIX-Based Empirical Study in Florida”

    This project leverages INRIX mobility data to empirically characterize and predict transportation network resilience under hurricane-fueled wildfire risk in Florida, with a focus on network disruption, mobility response, and post-disaster recovery.

  • USDA Project on Sustainable Agri-food Supply Chain Leadership

    Dr. Pan contributes to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) funded project led by PI Dr. Qianwen (Vivian) Guo, “Pathways to Power: Fostering Sustainable Agri-food Supply Chain Management Leadership Among Women and Minorities”

    This project focuses on advancing sustainable agri-food supply chain management and leadership development, with an emphasis on strengthening education, professional development, and leadership opportunities for women and underrepresented groups.

  • PennDOT Project on Connected and Automated Vehicles

    Dr. Pan contributed to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) funded project led by PI Dr. Xianbiao (XB) Hu, “Act 130 Reporting: Evaluating the Impact of Connected and Automated Vehicles in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania”

    This project evaluates the development, deployment, and impacts of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) in Pennsylvania, supporting PennDOT’s Act 130 reporting and providing insights into the implications of emerging vehicle technologies for Pennsylvania’s transportation system.
