A paper by Ph.D. student Irina Benedyk and Dr. Peeta has won the 2018 Editor’s Choice Award from the journal Maritime Economics & Logistics. It is titled “A Binary Probit Model to Analyse Freight Transportation Decision-Maker Perspectives for Container Shipping on the Northern Sea Route.” Each year, the editor of Maritime Economics & Logistics selects one study of “great importance” as the Editor’s Choice, noting its “direct applicability of research results [and] readership impact,” according to the editors.

Dr. Srinivas Peeta is helping lead efforts to develop a Connected and Autonomous Transportation ecosystem at Purdue University, through a partnership with industry and the state of Indiana. As part of this, Dr. Peeta led a multidisciplinary team of faculty on a Discovery Park Big Idea Challenge competition proposal titled “Connected and Autonomous Transportation,” which was selected as one of the finalists in the competition. Further, he is working collaboratively with the Discovery Park Leadership to foster industry partnerships. Some related information includes:
