Research

Dr. Bernstein is currently conducting research in two areas: in-vehicle navigation systems and electronic commerce.

Most of his research on in-vehicle navigation systems is funded by the NJ Center for Transportation Information and Decision Engineering which he helped create. He is interested in such topics as: finding alternative paths, incorporating time and tolls in path finding algorithms, and map matching.

Most of his research on electronic commerce focuses on the technologies necessary for en-route commerce and other, more general, kinds of transactions.

Dr. Bernstein is currently on the editorial boards of several journals, including: Journal of Regional Science Operations Research Spatial and Network Theory Transportation Science and is a reviewer for numerous other journals.
