Research and Teaching Areas

  • Future transportation (Director UC Berkeley Center for Future Urban Transport); See http://www.its.berkeley.edu/volvocenter/
  • Logistics and supply chains
  • Traffic flow theory and control
  • Networks
  • Public Transportation

MACROSCOPIC FUNDAMENTAL DIAGRAM:
What can perimeter control do to improve mobility in cities?.

THE NATURE OF URBAN TRAFFIC GRIDLOCK:
This game shows how gridlock develops and how to prevent it.


DISCRETIZATION OF CONTINUUM APPROXIMATIONS:
 See how simulations solve complex optimal facility location problems.


BOTTLENECK PHYSICS: 
How are traffic queues created?  Why does the discharge flow from a bottleneck drop after queue formation? 
This simulation reveals some insight to the problem.


TRAFFIC JAMS FROM NOWHERE: 
Have you ever driven out of a traffic jam only to find that nothing was apparently causing it?
Here is an explanation.
