Anshu Bamney, Ph.D., is a Human Behavior/Factors Researcher at the Connecticut Transportation Safety Research Center (CTSRC) within the Connecticut Transportation Institute (CTI) at the University of Connecticut. He joined in 2022 after completing his Ph.D. at Michigan State University, focusing on traffic safety. His expertise spans highway safety, multimodal transportation, context-sensitive design, naturalistic driving analysis, and field data collection.

Bamney has led projects for agencies like the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), and National Safety Council. His research interests include driver distraction, pandemic impacts on transportation, road safety for vulnerable road users (motorcyclists, pedestrians, bicyclists), and non-motorized transportation. He currently analyzes real-time data from Wejo to study harsh decelerations and crash relationships in Connecticut.

He has co-authored articles in journals like Accident Analysis and Prevention and serves as a reviewer. His work addresses critical areas such as dynamic speed feedback signage efficacy, post-pandemic travel behavior, and infrastructure design for safety and accessibility.
