MLSM at the Autonomous and Connected Transportation Systems Workshop

Prof. Carlos Lima Azevedo gave a presentation at the Autonomous and Connected Transportation Systems Workshop, held on 20 September 2020 as part of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference, entitled What about demand? Evaluating automated mobility-on-demand in different urban typologies via integrated demand-supply simulation.

Our recent PhD graduate won an award in the…

Ioulia Markou, who completed her PhD last year in our group, won the 3rd place in the TRA VISIONS 2020 Young Researcher Competition in the cross-modality category, with her work entitled Prediction of traffic anomalies due to special events. Congrats, Ioulia!

New PhD graduation in our group: congrats Mayara!

On 30 June 2020, Mayara Monteiro defended her PhD thesis entitled “Adaptation of transnational short-term residents: understanding the factors influencing residential location choice and travel behavior.”

Congratulations, Mayara!

Our team is ready for the 20/21 season! :-)

New member in our group: welcome Renming!

Renming Liu joined our group as a Research Assistant. Before joining us, he graduated from the Beijing Jiaotong University (BJTU), obtaining the MSc in System Science degree. He will be working on tradable mobility permits.

We wish him a productive and fun time during his stay with us! 🙂

New member in our group: welcome Ioanna!

Ioanna Arkoudi joined our group as a Research Assistant. Before joining us, she graduated from the University of Copenhagen (KU), obtaining the MSc in IT & Cognition degree. She will be working on automatic specification in dynamic behavior modeling and specification through advanced statistics and machine learning methods.

We wish her a productive and fun time during her stay with us! 🙂

How different is urban mobility across the world?

A very interesting paper from MIT researchers, including prof. Carlos Lima Azevedo from our group, looked into data from over 300 cities to find differences and similarities across cities. 12 different city typologies came out of the study. You can find the paper titled “A novel global urban typology framework for sustainable mobility futures” here, and the data can be downloaded from here. Find the abstract below.

Invited talk by prof. Francisco Pereira at NTU, Singapore

Prof. Francisco Pereira gave a talk at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore on 10 April 2019. The talk was about Predicting for the Adaptive Transport System.

New PhD graduation in our group: congrats Ioulia!

On 05 April 2019, Ioulia Markou defended her PhD thesis entitled “Detection, analysis and prediction of traffic anomalies due to special events.”

Congratulations, Ioulia!
