OverviewAI-generated summary

Suman Mitra's research investigates factors influencing the adoption and usage of various transportation modes and fuels, with a focus on sustainability and accessibility. Current projects examine the adoption of alternative fuels in heavy-duty vehicle fleets and the influences on shared e-scooter usage. Mitra also studies gender differences in elderly mobility and the impact of carsharing services on lower-income populations.

Mitra is a principal investigator on multiple National Science Foundation grants totaling over $1.1 million. These include projects focused on developing transportation platforms for older adults and creating community-based frameworks for shared micromobility to support affordable and accessible housing. Mitra has a publication record of 79 papers, with an h-index of 17 and 904 citations, and actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.

Further research includes analyzing electric vehicle usage patterns in multi-vehicle households using machine learning and exploring the spatio-temporal impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on shared e-scooter usage. Mitra's work also addresses the perspectives of fleet operators regarding alternative fuels for heavy-duty vehicles.
