Thesis title: Predicting travel patterns under disruption and change
Supervisor: Professor Ed Manley, Dr. Manon Predhumeau

Profile

I am a PhD student in ESRC Data Analytics & Society CDT and affiliated with the Leeds Institute for Data Analytics (LIDA) and School of Geography at the University of Leeds. My current research focuses on changes in travel behaviour within urban transport systems, particularly in response to various disruptions, such as events, incidents, and closures. My research aims to collect and analyse data to develop agent-based models, predicting how people adapt their travel behaviour under such disruptions. This project will collaborate with the Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) to provide practical application and contextual knowledge. This research has the potential to assist transportation authorities in improving their services and promoting changes in travel behaviour.
