Fred Mannering

Professor Fred Mannering is a faculty member in the Department of Economics at the University of South Florida (USF), affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on transportation safety engineering, crash injury severity analysis, and econometric modeling of transportation systems. He has authored numerous studies on topics such as autonomous vehicle safety, pedestrian and cyclist safety, and the impacts of policy changes on traffic patterns.

His work integrates advanced statistical methods with real-world data to address challenges in highway safety, urban mobility, and infrastructure sustainability. Notable areas of exploration include the effects of speed limits, work-from-home policies, and emerging technologies like automated vehicles on traffic-related injuries and fatalities. Mannering’s contributions span both theoretical advancements in modeling techniques and applied policy recommendations.

Research interests include temporal analysis of crash data, extreme value modeling for risk estimation, and interdisciplinary approaches to transportation infrastructure. He has also contributed to textbooks such as Statistical and Econometric Methods for Transportation Data Analysis and Principles of Highway Engineering and Traffic Analysis, reflecting his expertise in methodological frameworks.
