Michael A. Knodler, Jr. Ph.D, is a professor in the Transportation Engineering Program of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst. Additionally he is Director of the UMass Transportation Center, which includes the Baystate Roads Program, the University of Massachusetts Traffic Safety Research Program (UMassSAFE) and newly formed Aviation Center, and is an Associate Director of the Arbella Insurance Human Performance Laboratory (HPL). His main areas of research and teaching are related to transportation safety, operations, design, and education.
Over the past 6 years Prof. Knodler has served as Principal Investigator for more than 30 research projects with over 12 different funding agencies totaling $7.0 million in research expenditures. He has authored more than 100 technical papers, conference proceedings, research reports, and book chapters. Recently, he has conducted research on the topics of traffic safety analyses and crash data quality. He has also been the PI for the annual Massachusetts survey of seat belt usage and driver distraction. The annual survey includes direct observations at 140 locations and includes many roadway and demographic variables. As the UMass lead on the Safety Research Using Simulation (Safer-Sim) University Transportation Center, Prof. Knodler leads a collection of projects that use innovative technologies to investigate the intersection of human factors with roadway design and operations.
Prof. Knodler is active with the Transportation Research Board and the Institute of Transportation Engineers. He is a member of the both the Traffic Control Devices (TCD) Committee and former member of the Highway Safety Workforce Development Subcommittee. Prof. Knodler is the Past Chair of ITE’s Northeastern District and the Immediate Past Chair of the ITE Education Council.
