Research

• Approach uncertainty in public transport networks from a decision theoretic perspective
• Use conventional stated preference experiments in combination with revealed preferences from data sources such as smart card data in order to analyse traveller behaviour
• Identify situations where inconsistent behavioural changes can be observed to enable nudging travellers into making “optimal” decisions
• Use dynamic, agent-based transit assignment modelling to analyse impact of behavioural inconsistencies at the network level in order to identify “optimal” behaviour
