Saidi Siuhi

Dr. Saidi Siuhi serves as an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at South Carolina State University, where he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses while conducting research and providing institutional service across departmental and university levels.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (2009)
• M.Sc. in Civil Engineering from Florida State University (2006)
• B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from the University of Dar-es-Salaam (2003)

Specializing in transportation engineering, Dr. Siuhi's research focuses on traffic safety, transportation planning, and microscopic traffic simulation. His work addresses critical transportation challenges including distracted driving/walking behaviors, traffic management during special events (notably the 2017 solar eclipse), and the application of advanced computational methods to transportation networks. He integrates emerging technologies like virtual reality, machine learning, and deep learning to develop innovative safety solutions for complex transportation systems.

Analysis of his recent publications (2021-2025) reveals a strong trajectory toward computational transportation safety, with increasing emphasis on AI-driven solutions for pedestrian safety, driver behavior analysis, and infrastructure monitoring. His work consistently bridges theoretical transportation models with practical safety applications, particularly in distracted behavior analysis and event-based traffic management.

Dr. Siuhi actively mentors students through senior design projects (CE 459/460) and graduate coursework, though specific advisee names aren't documented. His service contributions span departmental, college, and university committees, supporting academic operations and strategic initiatives within the engineering program.
