Research Summary: Understanding passenger and freight travel behavior is critical for transportation system analysis and operational planning that need to account for supply and demand dynamics. However, describing and predicting the behavior of agents is extremely challenging. Sophisticated mathematical models are required to better represent individuals’ or firms’ decisions among mutually exclusive alternatives. The broad goal of my research is to better understand the interplay of agent behavior with engineering, investment, and policy choices for energy-efficient transportation technologies. To this end, I have been working towards developing practice-ready travel demand modelling toolkits and policy frameworks for passenger and freight transportation planning. I am also interested in exploring how traffic safety and highway geometric design can be enhanced using virtual/augmented reality experiments. 

Main Research Areas

  1. Freight Transportation Planning
  2. Transportation Energy, Emissions, and Other Externalities
  3. City Logistics and Last-Mile Delivery Routing
  4. Smart Cities, Multimodality and Emerging Vehicle Technologies
  5. Virtual and Augmented Reality for Engineering Design
