OverviewAI-generated summary
Suman Kumar Mitra's research focuses on understanding and modeling human mobility patterns, with a particular emphasis on transportation choices and their determinants. His work investigates factors influencing the adoption and usage of various transportation modes, including shared e-scooters, ridesourcing services, and long-distance commuting.
Métra's research has explored the decision-making processes behind alternative fuel adoption in heavy-duty vehicle fleets and examined carless lifestyles in California. He has also investigated gender differences in elderly mobility within the United States and analyzed the effects of vehicle platoons on crash types and severity. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 17 with 80 total publications and 959 total citations.
Métra has served as Principal Investigator on three federal grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), totaling $1,125,000. These grants support projects focused on developing community-based frameworks for shared micromobility and creating transportation platforms for older adults. He collaborates with several researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Sarah Hernandez, Farzana Mehzabin Tuli, Arna Nishita Nithila, and Anindya Debnath.
