-11Transport Network Analytics PhD Scholarship
University of Glasgow, UK
Scholarship / Financial aid: scholarships available
Date: 2014 intake
Open to: applicants with MSc or undergraduate degree in Engineering, Statistics,
Mathematics, Computer Science, or Applied Mathematics/Sciences
Announcement follows
The availability of large volumes of data from user-generated content and
emerging infrastructure-based sensors allow for a step change in how traffic flow
is modelled and understood. The vast amount of data available as part of the
Glasgow Future City Demonstrator (FCD) project funded by the UK Technology
Strategy Board (£24m) provides a unique opportunity to develop more powerful
and realistic data-enriched transport models.
In the traditional transport modelling literature, cities have been theorised to be
static systems being in equilibrium. These idealised mathematical models fail to
consider adequately the spatiotemporal propagation of congestion, which
overlook dynamic aspects of road network such as urban mobility patterns and
user behaviour. The availability of urban big data on transport will enable the
development of a new generation of models overcoming these shortcomings and
allowing better understanding of these issues and their complex interactions and
for the testing and evaluation of long-held traveller behaviour assumptions
relating to the equilibrium and steady-state nature of road networks. Such
empirically-grounded understanding will allow the modelling of dynamic flow
problems in evolving networks and appropriately will support the development of
innovative transport products and services in future cities.
This will be achieved by an interdisciplinary but closely integrated effort bringing
together expertise from network management and control, optimisation, social
modelling, social and travel behaviour, big data urban Informatics, data mining,
and statistics. The ultimate goal of this project is to take advantage of the
opportunities brought by emerging information and communication technologies,
including the opportunities provided by urban big data initiatives such as the oneof-a-kind FCD as well as the Scottish Administrative Data Centre recently funded
by Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). These data initiatives will be
invaluable in collecting heterogeneous data on urban mobility and user behaviour,
and the recent advances in complex systems science to develop new urban
network equilibrium models allowing city governments to design products and
24
services that may influence user behaviour through information provision and
transport system management.
Eligibility requirements
The successful candidate will have an excellent MSc or undergraduate degree in
Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Applied
Mathematics/Sciences. Applicants with a sound knowledge, interest, and
background in Operations Research, Statistics/Mathematics, Traffic Flow Theory,
Physics of Transport and Traffic, Big Data Analysis, are welcome to apply for the
PhD Scholarship. The ability to learn software programming (C/C++ or Python)
and simulation tools (AIMSUN or VISSIM) is essential and prior experience is an
advantage.
