My research interests extend but are not limited to, the following topics;

Transportation Engineering, Transport Infrastructure Resilience, Traffic Assignment, Network Design, Highway Engineering, Operations Research, Statistical Modelling, Data Mining, Traffic Flow Theory, Autonomous Vehicle, Humanitarian logistics

  • Traffic congestion modelling methodologies and variants that explain day-to-day flow volatility.
  • Incident modelling, investigations into the traffic recovery patterns and predictive modelling.
  • Safety related studies in autonomous vehicles
  • Real-time traffic signal design and coordination
  • Resilient transport networks: Disaster Resilience, Dynamic Traffic Assignment, CGE Models
  • Ethical transport network modelling
  • Innovative modelling and solution techniques for hunger and disaster long-term and short-term relief operations. Policies and tactics that have the potential to improve vulnerable peoples’ life by addressing welfare, fairness, effectiveness, and efficiency simultaneously.
