Developing an Integrated Traffic Corridor in Santa Fe through Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure

Santa Fe, NM experienced an increase in traffic congestion and accidents. Current traffic infrastructure is in need of improvement. This project inventoried traffic infrastructure around Santa Fe and investigated methods for calculating travel times through the city, with the goal of analyzing the implementation of an integrated traffic corridor. The project concluded that using INRIX data for travel times was reliable and that implementing an integrated traffic corridor in Santa Fe had a benefit-cost ratio of 75:1. Our results will provide accurate travel times to the public via dynamic message signs and potentially help the city of Santa Fe implement an integrated corridor in future years to help reduce traffic congestion and accidents

Physiological Remote Monitoring of Free Tissue Transfer

In the clinical setting today, the Doppler probe is the gold standard of monitoring free flaps. However, it poses many limitations including, but not limited to, subjective interpretation, reproducibility and limited remote access, confining the surgeon to the hospital for days. This project focuses on the design of a remote monitoring application for free tissue transplants. Utilizing a custom housing with a Doppler probe and temperature sensor, the device is capable of sampling physiological signals from tissue after microvascular surgery. This information is then exported to cloud storage for remote access. This enables surgeons to leave the hospital without leaving their patient, while also providing early detection of flap failure and better success rates
