Dear Colleagues,
UCL MaaSLab offers a 3-year PhD scholarship in Dynamic Travel Behaviour Modelling. The PhD scholarship is part of the H2020 funded HARMONY project.
For more information, please visit: https://www.maaslab.org/events .
We would really appreciate sharing this with your students or anyone who may be interested in pursuing a PhD.
*PhD scholarship's objective*
The proposed PhD topic includes the development of advanced dynamic travel behaviour models that take into account the dynamics of new mobility services and technologies. The successful candidate will be expected to master a broad range of theory including choice models, econometrics, machine learning and big data handling in order to tackle the challenges the new mobility services impose on travel demand models. The project provides an opportunity to conduct cutting edge methodological advancements. During the PhD, you will work closely with public transport authorities, transport planning companies, AVs and drones manufacturers.
*The HARMONY project*
HARMONY envisages developing a new generation of harmonised spatial and multimodal transport planning tools which comprehensively model the dynamics of the changing transport sector and spatial organisation, enabling metropolitan area authorities to lead the transition to a low carbon new mobility era in a sustainable manner. Small-scale demonstrations with Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) and drones take place to understand in real-life their requirements and collect data to be used for modelling. The HARMONY model suite is designed to assess the multidimensional impacts of the new mobility concepts (i.e. on-demand mobility, Mobility as a Service) and technologies (AVs and drones). The HARMONY model suite is also linked to the EC's EU-wide model TRIMODE to further identify the impact of the concepts and technologies on the TEN-T level. HARMONY's concepts and the model suite are applied and validated on six EU metropolitan areas on six TEN-T corridors: 1. Rotterdam (NL), 2. Oxfordshire (UK), 3. Turin (IT), 4. Athens (GR), 5. Trikala (GR), 6. Upper Silesian-Zaglebie Metropolis (PL). The project starts in June 2019.
Kind Regards,
Maria
