Five members of our MLSM group attended the 26th Trafikdage annual conference on traffic and transport in Aalborg, Denmark from 22-23 August 2022. Francisco Camara Pereira organized an executive session titled “AI in modelling and managing traffic” to review some of the latest developments in AI, modeling and traffic management, but also contrast with existing “classical” approaches. During the session, Filipe Rodrigues had a talk titled “Machine learning approaches for transport predictions problems: are we making progress in the right direction? ” where he discussed the importance of stationarity, strong baselines and benchmarks in transport prediction problems (Click here for the slides). In addition, our team presented/co-authored four interesting papers. Check out below for the full list of papers including the slides.

Gabriel Valença is a visiting PhD candidate from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Portugal. He is supervised by Professors Filipe Moura and Ana Sá from ITS. He will be working with Professor Carlos Lima Azevedo during his stay at DTU.
He mainly focuses on exploring how to allocate road space dynamically over the hours, days and seasons, especially when road space is underused. At DTU, he will evaluate the impacts of different scenarios of dynamic road space allocation.
Miguel Costa is also a guest PhD candidate from IST where he is supervised by Professors Manuel Marques and Filipe Moura. He will also be co-supervised by Professor Carlos Lima Azevedo from DTU.
His research focuses on the mapping and understanding of objective and subjective urban cycling safety. Miguel is combining authoritative and open-source data, together with machine learning approaches to analyze the risks cyclists face, and their perceptions of those risks, which ultimately aims to make cities safer for those who ride a bicycle.
We wish them a productive and fun time during their stay with us! 😊

Lorena Torres Lahoz recently joined our group as a Ph.D. student within the eMOTIONAL Cities project, where she will focus on the inclusion of emotions in discrete choice model frameworks using machine learning and scenario discovery. She will be working under the supervision of Professors Carlos Lima Azevedo and Francisco Camara Pereira.
She has graduated from DTU and Universidad Politécnica de Valencia with a double MSc degree in Mathematical modeling and computation.
We wish her best of luck on her PhD journey! 😊

Mohamed Eldafrawi is a guest Ph.D. candidate from Sapienza University of Rome and he will be working under the supervision of Prof. Francisco Pereira.
He mainly focuses on developing modeling frameworks for Dynamic Demand estimation and forecasting for real-world traffic modeling and ride-sourcing applications, combining those model-based frameworks with state-of-the-art data-driven methodologies and extracting the hidden transportation domain knowledge from multi-source and heterogenous traffic data.
We wish him a productive and fun time during his stay with us! 😊
