Alireza Ansariyar, Ph.D., P.E., is a Ph.D. in traffic and transportation engineering, with a particular focus on enhancing safety at signalized intersections. His research centers on leveraging advanced techniques for analyzing and interpreting LiDAR data, specifically for detecting and mitigating V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) conflicts involving vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Alireza is also deeply involved in the real-time integration of LiDAR technology with Roadside Units (RSUs) and On-Board Units (OBUs) to facilitate seamless V2X communication. This integration allows for the effective transmission of critical safety information, enhancing the situational awareness of both human drivers and automated vehicles. His work with LiDAR, RSUs, and OBUs helps create a connected environment where vehicles and infrastructure can communicate effectively to prevent accidents and improve traffic flow. In addition to his technical expertise, Alireza focuses on developing and implementing both static and dynamic safety messages to be broadcast by RSUs to OBU holders at signalized intersections. These messages are designed to alert drivers to potential hazards, optimize traffic signal timings, and promote safer driving behaviors. Through his innovative research and practical applications, Alireza Ansariyar continues to contribute to the advancement of traffic safety and intelligent transportation systems. His work is pivotal in shaping the future of connected and autonomous vehicle environments, making urban roads safer and more efficient for all users.
