The third lecture of our series is “Decision information: developments in transport modelling” by Assoc. Prof. Luc Wismans (University of Twente).
Luc Wismans is associate professor at the Transport Engineering & Management group of the University of Twente and Director Technology & Innovation of Goudappel, which is the largest traffic and transport consultant of the Netherlands. Luc is an expert on traffic management/ITS, smart mobility and transport modeling and working on the development of new modelling approaches, methods and algorithms, including the combination of these methods with data science methodologies. Being part of science and practice he is working at the sweet spot of integrating scientific developments in practice as well as translate practical needs to science.
In his lecture, Luc will provide some background on transport modelling, but will focus on the various developments and trends which are changing what decision information is needed and the way decision information is produced resulting in various innovations on this subject. Sustainable development goals as well as the digitalization are important causes for these developments in transport modelling.
