Elisabet Rutstrom Andrew Young School of Policy Studies 404-413-7111
Expertise: Dr. Rutstrom conducts experiments to measure responses to congestion conditions, inlcluding congestion pricing. These experiments are conducted both in driving simulators, in microscopic traffic simulations, and using GPS in field driving situations. Other experiments using driving simulators also look at the extent to which a driver's propensity to crash is explained by the risk attitude or the perception of the risk. This research is performed jointly with Dr. Glenn W. Harrison, the Director of the Center for Economic Analysis of Risk (CEAR), and Dr. Vinayak Dixit who is a Fellow at CEAR. A large field study on congestion pricing that is currently ongoing is joint work with Dr. Essam Radwan, and Dr. Rami Harb at the University of Central Florida.
