B.S.; Princeton University; Civil Engineering; 1985

My primary teaching responsibility is teaching courses in Transportation. In this role, I have taught primarily graduate level courses including TRAN 615/CE 660 (Traffic Studies and Capacity), as well as TRAN 752 (Traffic Control). These courses comprise two of the three core course requirements for students focusing in the area of transportation engineering. The courses are designed to expose students to principal methodologies used by transportation engineers performing transportation operation analyses. At the undergraduate level I have taught Transportation Engineering and Geometric Design.

Dr. Daniel’s research is focused in the areas of transportation safety and operations and has been sponsored by several agencies including the National Science Foundation, Federal Highway Administration and the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Her research has focused on freight movement, as well as on roadway safety, specifically within the areas of vehicle-occupant, pedestrian, bicyclists and truck safety. Dr. Daniel has served as a member of the Transportation Research Board Highway Capacity and Quality of Service Committee (AHB40), the Task Force on Arterials and Public Health (ADD55T) and the Operational Effects of Geometrics Committee (AHB65). She currently serves on the Road Safety Research Committee.
