RESEARCH CLUSTERS
Transportation engineering
"The transportation engineering research group is a multidisciplinary research unit that investigates sustainable and safe mobility covering land, water, and air transportation. Current research focuses on intelligent transportation systems which provide innovative services for road users enabling more coordinated, safer, and 'smarter' use of transport networks.
Possible mitigating options for traffic congestion in the urban road network and asset management systems focusing road rehabilitation and maintenance works are being studied
Areas: Modeling and simulation of Transportation systems, Traffic Engineering, Pavement materials and structural design, Traffic safety, Human Factors, Infrastructure engineering, Urban engineering"
ONGOING RESEARCH
- Currently work in one of the AHEAD research projects, “Integrated Traffic Management System for Safe and Sustainable Mobility”. Responsible for developing safety performance function for urban intersections.
