Fred Mannering is an American scientist/engineer who is most known for the development and application of statistical and econometric methods to study highway safety, economics, travel behavior, and a variety of engineering-related problems.

Early life and education

[edit]

Mannering was born in 1954 (November) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from suburban Pittsburgh's South Fayette High School, received his B.S. degree in Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan, M.S. degree from Purdue University, and Ph.D. in Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where his doctoral committee consisted of Clifford Winston (advisor), Daniel McFadden (2000 Nobel Prize laureate in Economics) and Ann Fetter Friedlaender.

Career

[edit]

Mannering is currently a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering (with a courtesy appointment in Economics) and Executive Director of the Center for Urban Transportation Research at the University of South Florida. He previously held academic positions as Head of Civil Engineering and later as the Charles Pankow Professor at Purdue University. Prior to joining Purdue University, he was a Professor and Chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering[1] at the University of Washington and an Assistant Professor at the Pennsylvania State University.

Mannering has received numerous awards in his discipline. In 2005 he won the Wilbur S. Smith Award,[2] in 2009 the James Laurie Prize,[3] and in 2010 the Arthur M. Wellington Prize[4] for his papers and work in highway safety (all three awarded by the American Society of Civil Engineers). He received the Murphy Teaching Award, Purdue University's highest undergraduate teaching honor, in 2013.[5][6] In 2016, he was named by the Eno Foundation as one of the Top 10 Transportation Thought Leaders in Academia[7] and in 2019, his 1996 paper on highway accident frequency was recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of four Journal of Transportation Engineering Part A: Systems papers that have been instrumental in moving civil engineering forward or have changed the practice of transportation engineering, infrastructure, and development.[8] In 2020, Mannering was recognized as the most highly-cited author (highest total citations and citations per paper) in the 50-year history of the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention[9] and in 2021 he received the Council of University Transportation Centers (HNTB-CUTC) Lifetime Achievement Award.[10] For five consecutive years (2019 to 2023 inclusive), Mannering was recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher on Clarivate's annual list of the world's most influential researchers, a list of researchers recognized for writing multiple highly cited papers that rank in the top 1% by citations for research field and publication year in Web of Science.[11][12][13][14][15]

Research

[edit]

Mannering is known for his work in highway safety, statistics, and econometrics. He has published extensively with over 150 journal articles.[16][17] Some of his most impactful work includes research on highway accident frequency and injury severity,[18][19] the effects of unobserved heterogeneity in highway safety analysis,[20] and his work on temporal instability in the analysis of highway accident data.[21] He has contributed to the advancement of science and engineering through his teaching and as an author of two widely adopted textbooks: Principles of Highway Engineering and Traffic Analysis and Statistical and Econometric Methods for Transportation Data Analysis. Mannering is Editor-in-Chief (and founding Editor) of the journal Analytic Methods in Accident Research[22] and past Editor-in-Chief and current Distinguished Editorial Board Member of the journal Transportation Research Part B - Methodological.[23]

Music

[edit]

Mannering was a founding member and the lead guitarist in the Seattle Heavy Metal band Vulgaris from 1993 to 1996.[24][25]
