OverviewAI-generated summary
Suman Mitra's research investigates factors influencing transportation choices and mobility patterns, with a particular focus on sustainable and equitable transportation systems. Their work examines the adoption of alternative fuels in heavy-duty vehicle fleets, exploring fleet operator perspectives and decision-making processes. Mitra also studies the usage of shared micromobility options, such as e-scooters, analyzing spatio-temporal impacts and influencing factors in urban environments, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additional research areas include understanding the mobility of specific populations, such as the elderly, and the impact of services like carsharing on lower-income communities. Mitra has secured federal funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for projects focused on mobility and aging, as well as community-based frameworks for shared micromobility and accessible housing. With an h-index of 17 and over 80 publications, Mitra collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Sarah Hernandez and Farzana Mehzabin Tuli.
