The prize celebrates Wang’s pioneering work in 3D laser imaging of pavements and bridges

In February 2024, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Transportation and Development Institute announced WTI Director Kelvin Wang as the ASCE 2024 James Laurie awardee, which recognizes those making groundbreaking advancements in transportation engineering. Dr. Wang has been instrumental in the development of 3D laser imaging of pavements and bridges, and crack/distress recognition using AI. Both techniques are being used by road and airport managers to solve transportation management challenges around the world.

Dr. Wang was officially presented with the award at the ASCE International Conference on Transportation and Development in Atlanta in June.
