BIO

Professor Khandker Nurul Habib focuses his research investigations within the area of transportation modelling and simulation. He develops mathematical, behavioural models to ascertain how human beings currently move from one location to another, and the multiple ways in which people respond to changes in the urban infrastructure. Using activity-based travel modelling, his research group assesses the choices people make and why they make them. Municipal planners frequently reference the models generated when making evidence-based planning decisions.
