Transportation Research Board (TRB)
(www.trb-networkmodeling.org)

  • Appointed Chair of the ADB30 Transportation Network Modeling Committee (http://www.trb-networkmodeling.org) of the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies of Sciences (2013-2019), Committee Member (1998-2009).

    The committee will promote research and information exchange in transportation network modeling, an interdisciplinary field spanning Computer Science, Logistics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Telecommunications, and Transportation Science. The committee will also focus on: the understanding and modeling of the technological and behavioral factors affecting the performance of transportation systems; modeling the interactions between the infrastructure and transportation networks; and the development and use of models to evaluate the quantity and quality of transportation facilities and services. The committee will serve as a focus for the development, adaptation, and implementation of quantitative and computer-based methodologies for the above purposes. The committee will cut across traditional modal boundaries, seeking unifying conceptual and methodological frameworks, yet highlighting modal differences. As such, it will foster effective and rapid sharing of information and experiences among researchers, practitioners, regulators and decision makers.
  • Founding Co-Chair (with Brian Wolshon) of the Task Force on Emergency Evacuation (ANB80T) of the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies of Science and Engineering (2012-2013).

    The Emergency Evacuation Committee is concerned with emergency preparedness for, and operational issues of, evacuations associated with any natural or human-made hazards. Of particular interest to the proposed Task Force are:
    • emergency traffic operations modeling and simulation;
    • traffic control and enforcement in evacuation;
    • the use of mass-transit and all other modes of transportation in evacuation;
    • issues associated with the emergency movement of special populations;
    • behavioral modeling in emergency departure and travel decision-making for evacuation;
    • planning and design of transportation infrastructure to facilitate evacuation;
    • application of intelligent transportation system (ITS) in evacuation;
    • data acquisition and forecasting of travel demand conditions for evacuation;
    • emergency fleet management and dispatching during an evacuation;
    • public policy issues;
    • relevant issues of communication and coordination in evacuation;
    • use of mass assembly areas or shelters;
    • human factors in evacuation; and
    • emergency response operations during or immediately following an evacuation.

    The Committee considers evacuations with notice and with little or no notice, as well as building, urban and regional evacuation.
