Dr. Nandita Basu Former Higher Degree Research Student Brief Detail: Built environment factors influence pedestrian route choice behaviour, but their impact is not well known. This thesis investigates the influences of the built environment factors on walking route preference and safety. By using the Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA) framework on pedestrian route choice […]
Dr. Mohammad Saifuzzaman Former Higher Degree Research Student PhD Title: Incorporating Risk Taking And Driver Errors In Car-Following Models. Brief Detail: Mohammad Saifuzzaman’s PhD thesis aims to investigate the effect of distraction on car-following (CF) behaviour and proposes a new methodology to incorporate risk-taking and driver errors in CF modelling. The thesis uses a driving […]
Dr. Jason Mark Deller Former Higher Degree Research Student PHD Title: The Effects of Road Geometry And Posted Speed Limits on Driver Speed Selection Brief Details: Jason Deller’s PhD thesis explores the complex relationship between roadway design and operating speeds, and how drivers respond to roadway design characteristics. The research aims to understand the impact of […]
Dr. Hasti Tajehranifard Former Higher Degree Research Student PhD Title: Incident Duration Modelling and System Optimal Traffic Re-Routing Brief Detail: Hasti Tajtehranifard’s PhD thesis deals with the problem of traffic congestion caused by traffic incidents in metropolitan areas. These incidents contribute to 25% of traffic congestion in US metropolitan areas, which leads to lost commuter time, […]
Dr. Getu Segni Tulu Former Higher Degree Research Student PhD Title: Pedestrian Crashes in Ethiopia: Identification of Contributing Factors through Modelling of Exposure and Road Environment Variables Brief Detail:Getu Segni Tulu’s PhD thesis focuses on pedestrian safety in Ethiopia, where 50-60% of traffic fatalities are pedestrians. The research aims to identify the causes and contributing factors […]
Dr. Ashutosh Arun Former Higher Degree Research Student Brief Detail: Dr. Arun’s PhD thesis introduces a new Road User Safety Field Theory to proactively assess traffic safety by studying the interactions of various road users at signalised intersections. The proposed theory combines road traffic environmental factors, vehicle capabilities and personal characteristics to determine the extent […]
Dr. Amir Pooyan Afghari Former Higher Degree Research Student Brief Detail: Dr Amir’s PhD thesis reviews the theoretical assumptions underlying blackspot identification in transportation research, identifies gaps in the literature, and proposes a multiple risk source methodology for detecting motor vehicle crash blackspots. The proposed approach involves decomposing the total crash count into its constituent […]
