#Spotlight on Kylie Braunius, MassDOT Transportation Program Planner III, who will be one of the presenters at an upcoming Innovation Webinar Series on April 25 at 2:00 pm, Artificial Intelligence Framework for Crosswalk Detection Across Massachusetts https://lnkd.in/gY6Hv5Qd “I began my career as a Transportation Program Planner II in 2022 and have since progressed to the role of TPP III, specifically as a GIS Data Analyst. In this position, my primary responsibility is to conduct spatial analyses on various datasets to support our engineers in developing actionable safety improvement plans for our roads. Additionally, I create and publish maps for different stakeholders to access information, ensure the quality of our data, and contribute to the presentation of new research ideas aimed at enhancing our datasets and safety planning. I also have the opportunity to train and supervise interns in geocoding crash data, as well as collaborate with researchers and other groups at MassDOT on projects such as AI crosswalk detection and wildlife collision hotspot modeling. One individual who has greatly influenced my academic and professional journey is my best friend, Christina. From the very beginning, she understood my aspirations and encouraged me to pursue them, even when others deemed them impractical. Christina's brilliance, eagerness to learn, and ability to engage in discussions about problem-solving, goals, promotions, and life achievements have been a constant source of inspiration for me. I take great pride in overcoming personal obstacles and successfully completing my master's degree at Cornell, a dream I had since high school. I strongly believe in the importance of asking questions and seizing learning opportunities. Whether it's requesting guidance on a new process, volunteering to assist with unfamiliar tasks, or simply being open to acquiring new skills, these actions contribute significantly to personal and professional growth in the long run. I am thrilled and honored to be part of a team of accomplished women in the engineering field. Working alongside supervisors who recognize my value as a contributor and provide guidance and mentorship has made me feel empowered and included within MassDOT. Fun fact about me: I’m a part of the board of a nonprofit focused on sustainable farming and local food systems in New England! #Safety #Crosswalks #Wildlife #Engineer #EarthMonth #Sustainability #MassDOT
