The UBC’s Centre for Transportation and Land Use Research (CeTLUR) Laboratory, a part of UBC’s Faculty of Applied Science, has opening for 6 PhD students. Research at the CeTLUR Lab revolves around the general area of travel demand forecasting, with a particular focus on the investigation of transportation and land use interactions, travel behaviour analysis, activity-based travel modelling, shared, autonomous, and electric mobility, emissions and energy consumption, and survey design and methods.
The research contributes by developing state-of-the-art agent-based urban system microsimulation tools, econometric models and machine learning techniques to generate evidence to assist in developing sustainable transportation and land use-related policies and infrastructure investment decision-making.
