Graduate School Predoctoral Fellowships
Predoctoral fellowships are awarded to doctoral students on the recommendation of the graduate faculty in their program. Award amounts vary considerably. Predoctoral fellowships carry no service commitment. You must be a Regular (not Provisional) full-time doctoral student to be eligible for these fellowships. The Vice Provost for Graduate Education provides funds for this program directly to the academic units. Contact your graduate coordinator for more information about the Predoctoral Fellowship Program.
Outstanding Scholars Program (OSP)
The Graduate School and participating academic departments and programs offer a number of OSP awards for new outstanding doctoral students. Each award includes a fellowship equivalent to a half-time graduate assistantship (there are three rates of pay varying by experience and degree program) for the academic year plus a $2,000 summer stipend, provided by the Graduate School, and a graduate assistantship for the fall and spring semesters, which is provided by the department or program. The award is renewable for two additional years. Each spring, doctoral fields of study recommend applicants who intend to commence graduate study in the subsequent fall semester. The academic quality of the candidate and the nominating program are the prime cirteria for an OSP award.
To nominate an applicant for an OSP award, please complete the on-line OSP cover sheet and forward the completed form along with copies of the applicant's transcripts, GRE scores, applicant's personal statement and letters of recommendation to Joanna Desjardin at Unit 1006 or as a pdf to Joanna.Desjardin@uconn.edu. Nominations must reach Joanna by the deadline date to be considered for an award. A faculty committee will review and select awardees.
Semi-Annual Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship Program
Twice each year, the Graduate School awards a number of $2,000 Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships for advanced students in doctoral programs requiring a dissertation. Their purpose is to enable students to place a high priority on writing the doctoral dissertation as expeditiously as possible. The competitions for these fellowships are held in late fall and late spring each year (pending budgetary approval). To be eligible, the student must have passed the doctoral General Examination and have obtained full approval of the Dissertation Proposal (including the use of any human or animal subjects or stem cells). There is a maximum personal income limit for an applicant to be eligible. The limit is specified for each competition on the application form. The application is posted to the Graduate School Web site approximately October 1st and April 1st. Students are notified of the posting of the application at those times by UConn Listserv e-mail. Application deadlines are in late-November and mid-May respectively. Students based at the Health Center in Farmington are not eligible to
Doctoral Student Travel Funds to Doctoral and M.F.A Student Travel Funds
If you are in a doctoral program, once you complete your General Examination you become eligible for a $1000 travel allowance. This travel fund is made available through your major advisor and can be used for travel to the professional meeting or conference of your and your major advisor's choice.

http://www.ce.umn.edu/graduate/degree.html#ms
PHD招收84人，普通的civil engineering,下面有专门的transportation engineering研究项目，http://www.ce.umn.edu/graduate/trans/
也可以先杀进去graduate program,然后再进去PHD program        
Ph.D.
A Ph.D. is offered in the Civil Engineering program only. The comprehensive Ph.D. program combines independent research with coursework for those wishing to attain the highest possible degree and contribute to new knowledge in their field. Students typically enter the Ph.D. program after completing a M.S. degree. The average time to completion is 3 to 4 years of full-time study following the M.S. degree.

M.S. degree
The M.S. degree involves a combination of coursework and a research or design project. The M.S. degree provides preparation for students either wishing to pursue a career in industry or to continue studies towards a doctorate. There are three versions of the M.S. degree:
Plan A, which involves independent research and completion of a thesis.
Plan B, which is typically more design-oriented and requires completion of one or more projects.
Plan C is a coursework-only program.

The M.S. Plan A and B degrees typically takes one-and-a-half to two years to complete on a full-time basis, and three to four years on a part-time basis. Plan C takes one year to complete on a full-time basis and two years going to school part-time.
Funding is often available for full-time students pursuing a Plan A degree, while Plan B students typically go to school part-time and are funded by external sources, such as their employer. Plan C students are usually unfunded.
Students may apply for the BCE/MS program within their last two semesters of undergraduate studies. The benefit of this program is in the tuition used for part of your MS classes. Once admitted, you will be able to register for graduate level classes at the cost of undergraduate tuition. Graduate classes may not be used as electives for your undergraduate degree. Both degrees must be completed in their entirety. Students only receive two semesters of a graduate level tuition waiver. If you have not completed your undergraduate degree within the two semesters, you will start paying tuition at the graduate level. You should notify the Graduate Secretary once you have completed your undergraduate degree. For questions contact the Graduate Studies Secretary.

PhD Program Requirements in Transportation Engineering
http://www.tep.umd.edu/learning/phd-req.html

PHD的毕业要求：
1. Completion of eight courses beyond the student’s MS program requirements. These courses must be determined by the student in consultation with and subject to the approval of the student’s advisor.
2. Successful completion of a PhD Qualifying Examination. The objective of this exam is to determine the student's suitability to advance to candidacy for PhD study in Transportation. This exam is administered in three parts: (1) a one-day written examination covering transportation systems engineering fundamentals and methodological basics; (2) a two-day written examination covering the
student’s areas of specialization in Transportation; and (3) an oral examination.
2.1 The fundamentals examination is a one day written examination that is usually administered in a classroom, on a closed-book basis, unless otherwise specified in advance of the exam. The specific format may change from year to year, though the content includes the following subjects:
Fundamentals of transportation systems engineering, including basic concepts of transportation demand, system performance and supply, and demand-performance interaction in transportation markets; activity systems analysis for passenger and freight transportation; and elements of transportation economics, evaluation and decision-making.
Methodological foundations, including applied engineering mathematics (advanced calculus and linear algebra), mathematical programming formulation and basic solution principles of transportation optimization problems; elementary network analysis and algorithms; probability models and application; applied statistical analysis techniques (hypothesis testing, estimation, linear regression).
2.2. The second part is a two-day written exam in the student’s area of specialization. This exam is intended to provide an opportunity for more meaningful problems, some of which may be open-ended, requiring more thinking and knowledge of the field. The student selects two topics from the following on which to be examined:
Transportation Planning and Policy
Traffic Operations and Control
Travel Demand Analysis
Transportation Operations Research
Public Transportation Systems
Air Transportation Systems
Freight Transportation and Logis
The student needs to declare the two areas prior to taking the examination. In some cases, areas not included in the above list may also be selected, subject to approval by the Transportation Faculty. The students will receive open ended research questions related to the two topics they select.
The written exam is administered only twice a year: in January and in late May. The dates will be announced by the Transportation Faculty at least two months prior to the exam. The exam is normally taken after the student’s third semester in the PhD program, or two semesters after completion of the MS degree for continuing MS students. Exceptions to these rules may be granted only in the following cases:
a) Students whose MS degree is in a field other than Transportation Engineering.
b) Students whose native language is not English and who are in a US University for the first time.
c) Students who for extenuating personal circumstances believe they are not sufficiently well prepared to pass the exam, and formally request permission to wait an additional semester. Such requests must be approved by
both the student's advisor and the Transportation graduate advisor, and will be granted only in exceptional circumstances.
This determination is made by the Transportation Faculty as a group.
The following decisions can be reached as a result of this meeting:
Possible outcomes of written exam
The student passes the written exam and proceeds to the oral exam.
The student is allowed to take the oral, with specific recommendations.
The student fails the written but is allowed to take the oral, after which a more complete recommendation can be made.
The student fails the written and is not allowed to proceed to the oral; the student is allowed to retake the written at the next opportunity.
The student fails the written exam and is not allowed to proceed to the oral; the student shall not be allowed to continue in the program.
The Transportation Faculty reserves the right to waive the oral exam in exceptional cases.
In addition, the Transportation Faculty will determine the composition of the oral examination committees for the candidates.
2.3. The third portion of the exam is an oral examination, which will be administered by a committee of a minimum of three Transportation faculty members (but may include at most one faculty member from related areas, subject to approval by the Transportation Faculty). The oral examination should take place within about 60 days after the written exam has been taken. The oral exam should be moderated by a faculty member other than the student's supervisor.
The results and recommendations of the oral examination committee should be made as soon as possible to the Transportation Faculty, who will meet after all oral examinations have been administered to consider the recommendations of the committees and take final action in this regard.
The following actions are possible:
Final Outcome of Overall Exam
Pass; advance to candidacy and proceed with doctoral program.
Pass with qualifications to the student's program of work; advance to candidacy and proceed with program.
No pass, but only partial re-examination (oral only, written only, portion of written only) required.
No pass, but complete re-examination permitted.
No pass, no re-examination; the student is not allowed to continue in the doctoral program.
3. Successful defense of a research proposal. After the qualifying exam is passed, the student will form a PhD dissertation committee in consultation with his/her research supervisor. This committee must consist of a minimum of 5 graduate faculty members, including at least one “external” member who will serve as the Dean’s Representative. The “external” member must be from the University of Maryland at College Park but not from the Engineering School. A dissertation research proposal must be prepared, presented to, and approved by this committee.
4. Successful defense of the PhD dissertation.

A Real-Time Decision-Support System for Freeway Management and Control
Traffic incidents are believed to cause about 60% of the congestion delay in the United States. Accordingly, a number of U.S. cities maintain Traffic Operations Centers (TOCs) for incident detection and response. However, TOC operators are currently loaded with many low-level tasks in incident management. This process could potentially be automated by an intelligent system. This paper presents such a system called freeway real-time expert-system demonstration (FRED). FRED is designed to provide decision support for TOC operators in a simulated intelligent vehicle-highway system operating environment. Based on traffic information from detectors on freeways and from an incident report database, FRED is able to detect and verify multiple incidents that occur on a freeway network, and give advice to TOC operators regarding incident response strategies. FRED is designed in such a way that new developments in the area of incident management can be easily incorporated into the existing structure.

Paper:
Measuring the impact of efficient household travel decisions on potential travel time savings and accessibility gains
Using the conceptual framework of time-space geography, this paper incorporates both spatio-temporal constraints and household interaction effects into a meaningful measure of the potential of a household to interact with the built environment. Within this context, personal accessibility is described as a measure of the potential ability of individuals within a household not only to reach activity opportunities, but to do so with sufficient time available for participation in those activities, subject to the spatio-temporal constraints imposed by their daily obligations and transportation supply environment. The incorporation of activity-based concepts in the measurement of accessibility as a product of travel time savings not only explicitly acknowledges a temporal dimension in assessing the potential for spatial interaction but also expands the applicability of accessibility consideration to such real-world policy options as the promotion of ride-sharing and trip chaining behaviors. An empirical application of the model system provides an indication of the potential of activity-based modeling approaches to assess the bounds on achievable improvements in accessibility and travel time based on daily household activity patterns. It also provides an assessment of roles for trip chaining and ride-sharing as potentially effective methods to facilitate transportation policy objectives.

SPIVC: A SmartPhone-based Inter-Vehicle Communication System
Inter-vehicle communications (IVC) could potentially improve safety, mobility, and fuel efficiency of a transportation system. However, traditional decentralized approaches based on Dedicated Short Range Communications could take a long time to reach a meaningful market penetration rate. In this
study, we attempt to take advantage of ubiquitous smartphones and develop an IVC system based on smartphones, called SPIVC. In this system, smartphones on vehicles communicate with a central server and share traffic information with each other. Field tests are carried out on both WiFi and 3G  networks to determine the accuracy of GPS devices and communication delays between vehicles. A communication model is developed to explain communication delays. It is found that location errors are about 4 meters after warm-up, and communication delays are in the order of seconds and  depend on the frequency of location updates in GPS devices. The SPIVC system, which can be centralized or decentralized, holds great promises for an array of multimodal transportation applications that are not very sensitive to GPS accuracy and communication delay.
