Research Interests:
- My research focuses on weather-related traffic collisions, winter maintenance and the implications of climate change for transportation infrastructure and operations.
- I also focus on society's exposure to and management of risks.
- Through collaborative research, I have been exploring the sustainability implications of telework and other issues related to transportation and land-use planning.

- Funded by: Ontario Ministry of Transportation
- Grant Period: 2005-2008
- Development of winter severity indicator models for Canadian winter roads
