Dr. Kwasniak specializes in the analysis of roadway accidents, including accidents at stop-controlled and signalized intersections, road segments, work zones, and railroad crossings, as well as collisions involving pedestrian and bicycles. Dr. Kwasniak has participated in a wide range of road safety investigations, providing expertise in the areas of roadway geometry design, traffic control and operations, human factors, and environmental conditions. As part of these investigations, Dr. Kwasniak has proposed and evaluated potential roadway safety improvements. His research includes developing a knowledge-based system for road safety investigations that incorporates uncertainty using Bayesian statistics. He has also been involved in developing and testing computer software that simulates and analyzes the effectiveness of roadway safety countermeasures. Prior to joining Exponent, Dr. Kwasniak worked as a research assistant at Purdue University, and also held the position of logistics manager for Krak-Speed, LTD.
