Dr. Kang's research attempts to improve the design, planning and operations of complex public and private transportation systems using mathematical optimization methods that consider realistic transportation behaviors. Her research has focused on application areas such as the evaluation of the infrastructure requirements for alternatively fueled vehicles, impacts of autonomous vehicles on transportation systems, optimization of paratransit services, disaster operations management, and understanding rider preferences in multi-modal transportation systems.
