Personal Bio
Dr. Ban's research focuses on modeling and simulation that aim to reveal the complex dynamic, stochastic, and evolving interactions among the critical components of transportation systems, with the purpose to develop effective, efficient, and sustainable methodologies to mange wide-area and multi-modal transportation systems. His current research interests are
- Large-scale traffic simulation that focuses on integrated and multi-modal transportation corridor management,
- Theoretical, algorithmic, and computational issues of dynamic traffic network analysis,
- Sensor-aided modeling and simulation, especially the application of mobile traffic sensors for traffic monitoring and management, state estimation, and traffic information collection and dissemination,
- Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) that focuses on applying information technologies to various traffic/transportation applications
Awards
