Hao Zhou is an Assistant Professor of Transportation Engineering at the University of South Florida, where he leads the MOTIF Lab. His research bridges classical traffic flow theory with frontier vehicle and AI technologies, asking how new vehicle capabilities — adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, electric powertrains — reshape macroscopic traffic efficiency and safety, and how AI tools such as dash-cam vision can extend our ability to observe and manage road networks.
