Acadia National Park has faced traffic issues for decades due to its small size and popularity. Daniel and his team worked together to assess the feasibility of using intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to mitigate traffic congestion in the park. The team made recommendations on technology that could be implemented to provide park staff and visitors with real-time information to make better decisions about traffic management and where to go in the park.
To Daniel, the most valuable part of his IQP experience was working with a team of people he had never met before to preserve the park’s natural beauty. In addition to learning several skills when it comes to working with others, he also got his first real taste of what professional project work is like, and what will be expected of him in the future.
The stunning mountains, ocean, lakes, and forests weren’t bad either.
