On-going Research:

Development of an Online Platform to Simulate Trading Behavior of Participants in Shared Autonomous Vehicle System

The project is funded by PSC-CUNY-Enhanced Award program . A beta test of the platfrom can be found here

Social capitals measured by mobility behavior and urban dynamics

The project is funded by PSC-CUNY-Enhanced Award program .

Shared Life Tracks Mobile Application: Tracking Lifestyle of the Population

A mobile application called Shared Life Tracks was developed to collect information about people's trips and their commute. The people using the app share their experiences by answering multiple questions, like a questionnaire. The goal is to create a database that can be used by the City College of New York in the context of research, to understand and improve your trips and what surrounds them. Share Life Tracks is only available in New York City so far, but we plan on expanding to more cities in the near future. To download Shared Life Tracks, please click here.

Calibrating Trip Distribution and Mode Choice Models - The Fourth Regional Plan for The New York-New Jersey and Connecticut Metropolitan Area

The project is sponsored by Regional Plan Association.

An Agent-Based Disaster Response Inference Model for Assessment of Transportation Risk under Extreme Events:

The research is a collaborative research with hydroclimatology center. We work closely with scientist to predict the probability of occurance of extreme events and their impacts on travel behavior of individuals. The study is funded by UTRC.

Generating Multidimensional Disruption Index for Mobility during Extreme Climate Events:

This project is funded through 'Cuny Advanced Science Research Center', ASRC.

Develop a Guidebook for Methods/Analytics for Summarizing and Analyzing Data to Support Transportation Operations Decision-Making:

In this project I am collaborating with Cambridge Systematic to develop a guideline describing different data-mining techniques and illustrate how these techniques can be applied in transportation field. The project is funded by FHWA.

Previous Research:

An Activity-based Toolbox for Planning pplications with Special Relevance to Transit

The project was funded by U.S. Department of Transportation, University Transportation Centers Program. As a key personnel of the project, during my PhD training. I developed a comprehensive software to infer activity patterns of individuals using machine earning, Bayesian analysis, and optimization techniques.
The following video illustrates an Activity Based model that I developed as part of my PhD dissertation in August 2014. The codes were developed in Matlab 2012 software by myself, please email me if you are interested in using it. You may also access the abtract of my thesis from link. For citation, please refer here . This is the link to see my talk at UCCONNECT 2015, University of California: Santa Barbara.
