Joseph Nadolny is a student at Rowan University who is pursuing a Bachelor's of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering, with a focus on traffic engineering. His interest in traffic engineering came from his love for video games. One of these games was 'Cities: Skylines'. Cities: Skylines is a single-player open-ended city-building simulation game which involves urban planning by controlling zoning, road placement, taxation, public services, and public transportation for a city. This game grew his interest in city planning and ultimately focusing on traffic engineering. During the summer of 2023, he had an internship at Dynamic Traffic as an Assistant Design Engineer
At Rowan University, he has worked with Dr. Rahman on research involving Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) for freeway work zone capacity. Using various market penetration rates of CAVs, it is possible to see the potential positive impacts of CAVs on capacity on freeways. It is the hope that CAVs will be able to increase the capacity of freeways, which has the potential to increase the safety on those freeways, and decrease travel time for all vehicles.
