Travel behavior analysis and traffic phenomenon analysis for urban transport planning

We are carrying out research on urban transport that encompasses the movement of people in cities along with the movement of bicycles and vehicles on roads. In order to ease traffic congestion in cities and thus traffic jams and accidents the behavior of people moving in cities and the behavior of people driving cars need to be analyzed, and appropriate traffic management policies and road safety practices then considered. Travel behavior such as with work trips, commuting to school and shopping is implemented by everyone on a daily basis, and thus is a field that involves behavior in everyday life, and therefore a target of research that can take place anywhere in people’s daily lives.
