He holds five years of experience in highway geometric design as a senior engineer at NESPAK, Pakistan. He is committed to using his skills and knowledge to improve traffic safety.

Dr Yasir Ali is a Lecturer in the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering at Loughborough University. His research interests lie primarily in the areas of traffic flow modelling, traffic safety, decision making, advanced data analysis techniques (e.g., mathematical modelling, econometrics, machine learning) in transport engineering, and pavement materials. He is on the expert panel of several transport journals including Accident Analysis & Prevention, Transportation Research Record, IEEE, Journal of Advanced Transportation, and more.

Dr Shamsunnahar Yasmin is a Senior Research Fellow (Road Safety Engineer) at the Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety – Queensland (CARRS-Q), Australia. She is a Civil Engineer with ten years of research and project management experience with specialization in Transportation Engineering. She has received her Ph.D. from McGill University, M.Sc. from University of Calgary and B.Sc. from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). She has previously worked as a Research Assistant in Accident Research Institute (ARI) at BUET. Before joining CARRS-Q, she was a Postdoctoral Associate and Graduate Faculty Scholar in University of Central Florida. She has extensively worked on evidence-based and data-driven statistical analysis from the perspective of several transportation related issues. Her research expertise encompasses road safety, travel behavior, transportation planning, traffic incident management, traffic engineering, application of social media data in transportation, transit demand, sustainable urban transportation, integrated sociodemographic, built environment and land use modeling.

Dr Oscar is an Assistant Professor in Responsible Risk Management at Delft University of Technology. His areas of expertise include human factors engineering, sustainable development, misuse of technology, digital work, and transport safety and security. His research has been widely reported in international media, including the ABC, the New York Times, the Independent, the Men’s Health Magazine, and the Washington Post. In 2019, Dr Oscar received the Australasian College of Road Safety’s Inaugural Young Leaders Oration Award in recognition of his impact and reputation in distracted driving research.

Associate Professor Zuduo Zheng is TAP Chair (Deputy) sponsored by Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, an Associate Professor in the School of Civil Engineering, and a former DECRA Research Fellow sponsored by the Australian Research Council. His research primarily focuses on: 1) traffic flow theory, modelling, simulation and optimisation; 2) understanding emerging, disruptive, and intelligent mobility technologies’ impact on traffic efficiency, traffic safety, energy consumption, vehicle emissions, etc.; 3) developing essential theories, the foundational algorithms and analytics that can seamlessly integrate future mobilities into the existing transportation systems; 4) establishing a new breed of control strategies tailored to maximise the power of the connected environment and vehicle automation; and 5) conducting fundamental research on complex systems modeling and the design of adaptable, controllable, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure systems (intelligent transportation systems and smart city in particular). He is currently listed as the Top 2% of Scientists in Logistics and Transportation by Scopus & Stanford University. He has won many prestigious awards, and serves/served as editor, guest editor or editorial board member of several prestigious journals, including Transportation Research Part B, Transportation Research Part C, Analytic Methods in Accident Research , IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, etc.

Dr Ashish Bhaskar is an Associate Professor in Civil Engineering (Transport discipline), at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Australia. His expertise includes transport big data analytics, modelling, simulation, and control. At this stage, the focus of his research is on addressing the issues and challenges related to road traffic congestion and its detrimental socioeconomic and environmental impacts. Together, with his team of researchers and collaborators from government, industry, and academia, he is working towards evidence-based decisions support, management, and control of multimodal transport system. He has a proven track record of working with government and industry including Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) on number of projects as lead chief investigator.
