Jahnavi Yarlagadda is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Mahindra University. She completed her Ph.D. in Transportation Systems Engineering from IIT Hyderabad. She received master’s degree in Transportation Engineering from IIT Kharagpur, and bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from JNTU, Kakinada. She majorly worked on the road traffic safety and driver behavior in naturalistic driving environment. The integration of human behavioral aspects in the road safety analysis and identification of driving patterns using machine learning techniques were the prominent research highlights of her doctoral study. Her articles have appeared in peer reviewed journals like Accident Analysis & Prevention, and Journal of Advanced Transportation. Her research interests include driver behavior, driver assistance, naturalistic driving studies, road safety, statistical data analysis and data mining.
