Dr. Jingjun Li

Postdoc Researcher

Jingjun Li is a postdoc researcher at the SUM Lab, Department of Civil Engineering & Geosciences at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). He is currently working on the WP6 of the XCARCITY project, which aims to develop a digital twin platform for studying the impacts of various mobility policy combinations towards cities without private vehicles (https://xcarcity.nl/programme/).

 

Before joining TU Delft, Jingjun was a PhD researcher under the SRP project (https://researchportal.vub.be/en/projects/srp-onderzoekszwaartepunt-autonomous-mobility-logistics) at the research group MOBI, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium. The title of his PhD thesis is “Reducing Urban Private Vehicle Dependency with Shared Autonomous Vehicle: Agent-based Simulation as A Digital Testbed for Transport Policy Evaluation”. Specifically, using data from different stakeholders, Jingjun generated and calibrated a city-wide agent-based MATSim model for the city of Brussels (https://www.matsim.org/). Adopting the generated MATSim Brussels scenario, Jingjun tested the impact of using Shared Autonomous Vehicles to substitute conventional private vehicles towards a carfree Brussels in different perspectives, such as accessibility, service efficiency and transport sustainability. 

 

Jingjun holds an MEng degree in Engineering with Business from the University College Dublin, Ireland (with a master's thesis in freight transport simulation for Ireland) and a BEng degree in Traffic Engineering from Chang’an University, China. Jingjun holds a research interest in transport simulation (e.g. agent-based simulation). He is also interested in combining transport simulation with other algorithms for a more comprehensive understanding of the interactions between urban mobility systems and overall society.
