Research cluster team on GPS for transportation in the Region 2 University Transportation Research C
The four members in this research cluster team come from multi-disciplines and multi-universities in UTRC2. Dr. Maxemchuk is a professor in electrical engineering at Columbia University and an expert in using GPS for public transit. He used a combination of dead reckoning and Google maps to supplement GPS when the signal is lost. This system is being used by the MTA to track the positions of buses
Dr. Hongmian Gong at Hunter College of the City University of New York recently published a book chapter on integrating GIS and GPS for transportation:
