Talk: Transportation Asset Management in the Context of Smart Cities

For almost five decades, Kumares C. Sinha has contributed to transportation engineering over a spectrum of areas from highway engineering, traffic operations, and safety analysis to land use–transportation system modeling, transportation financing, and civil infrastructure management. Dr. Sinha received a B.S. in CE from Jadavpur University in 1961, as well as a master’s degree in municipal engineering in 1966 and a doctoral degree in CE in 1968, both from the University of Connecticut. After six years at Marquette University, he joined Purdue University in 1974 and is currently the Edgar B. and Hedwig M. Olson Distinguished Professor of Civil Engineering there. He pioneered integrated highway-asset-management techniques with innovative research on facility condition modeling, treatment effectiveness, life-cycle costing, and multi-objective optimization of system performance. The results of his research have been adopted worldwide.
