Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Kwadwo Amankwah-Nkyi's research focuses on the application of machine learning and data-driven methods to improve transportation systems. His work includes developing real-time systems for detecting helmet violations and barges on inland waterways, utilizing deep learning models like YOLOv5. Amankwah-Nkyi also investigates methods for assessing the resilience of transportation networks, such as the Arkansas roadway system, and estimates the criticality of highway transportation assets through analytical hierarchy processes incorporating stakeholder input. He has explored safety-aware reinforcement learning for adaptive traffic signal optimization in work zone environments. His publications also touch upon the use of driving simulators for educational outreach in freight transportation. Amankwah-Nkyi collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Sarah Hernandez, Suman Mitra, Subhadipto Poddar, and Maria Falquez, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
