Dr. Trani has developed numerous computer models and tools for decision-making in air and multimodal transport systems. For 30 years, he has led development of the REDIM model, used by hundreds of airports worldwide since 1994 for runway exit design.
From 2002–2006, he led creation of TSAM for NASA Langley—a large-scale multimodal demand model used in studies on very light jets, high-speed rail, and fuel-efficient aircraft operations in the U.S.
In recent years, he led development of the Global Oceanic Model (GO) for the FAA to assess surveillance technologies and air traffic concepts in oceanic operations, supporting investment decisions.
