Mission
Traffic congestion is increasing in major cities. The construction of new infrastructure is not a feasible solution to decrease congestion. My research to date has focused on developing more sustainable transportation systems by improving the use of existing facilities. Specific areas of research include modeling and estimation of travel times and other performance measures in arterials; location of emergency response vehicles in transportation networks; urban transportation and gridlock in cities.Biography

Traffic engineering
Introduce the major elements of transportation systems and traffic engineering-Develop analytical and technical skills in applying the fundamentals of the transport field-Understand the key concepts and physics of the transport phenomena- Connect with real transportation problems and data analytics
Transportation economics
The scope of the lecture is to provide the basic concepts in transport economics and introduce new ones for private and public transport and environmental issues. Demand, supply, welfare analysis and regulation will be illustrated.
Fundamentals of traffic operations and control
The objectives of this course are to present the major elements of traffic operations and to develop basic skills in applying the fundamentals of traffic analysis and control. Students should be able to start applying these skills to model different aspects of congestion in urban systems.
Global issues: mobility B
Human and freight mobility in large cities is a complex process with dense population and many transport modes to compete for limited space. New emerging modes of transport, such as on-demand services, and new technologies, such as autonomous vehicles, create additional opportunities and challenges.
