joining Mason, Dr. Venigalla most recently served as
a Senior Transportation Systems Engineer in Wilbur Smith
Associates Transportation Modeling Group, located in
Columbia, SC. Dr. Venigalla earned his doctorate from
the University of Tennessee in 1994. His research has
been exceptional. Mohan was the 1991 Student of the
Year, as awarded by the US Department of Transportation.
In 1996, he received the Pyke Johnson Award from the
National Research Council for the best research paper
in transportation planning. After receiving his Ph.D.,
Dr. Venigalla served as a Transportation Systems Engineer
at the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center
in Cambridge, MA, working in both the ITS and Air Quality
groups.
Dr.
Venigalla is an expert in quantitative methods for transportation
planning, air quality, traffic operations, and traffic
simulation. His skills include transportation systems
analysis encompassing travel demand modeling, traffic
simulation, network analysis, and ITS related modeling.
He has developed and applied numerous computer models
for transportation planning and traffic engineering
problems. His research work in transportation air quality
has received national acclaim. The methods he has developed
for determining start nodes and operating models are
being widely used in the industry for air quality modeling.
