Previous Teaching Assignments

Research Interests

  1. Modelling of sustainable modes of transportation with special focus on non-motorized modes of transportation: crowd dynamics, application of computer vision technologies for data collection, and behavioural analysis.
  2. Road safety analysis: surrogate safety measures, vision-based road safety analysis, and holistic safety analysis with special focus on sustainable modes of transportation.
  3. Highway design: development of probabilistic standards for highway geometric design, reliability and risk analysis.
  4. Modelling and evaluation of intelligent transportation systems with special focus on freight: simulation of cargo and carrier movements at border and inland inspection stations.
