Automated modelling of traffic signal controller behaviour from floating car data using Hidden semi-Markov Models
Paving the way for large scale implementation of Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory systems
Research has shown that GLOSA systems can help reduce the emission of $CO_2$ by motor vehicles and improve flow on urban road networks. However, existing GLOSA systems only work in combination with a limited selection of Traffic Signal Controllers (TSCs) and therefore have not be

Learning Drivers’ Preferences in Delivery Route Planning
An Inverse Optimization Approach
Optimizing delivery routes is a well-researched topic, however, most of the classical approaches do not incorporate preferences of drivers, as those approaches focus on minimizing the time or distance of the routes. As a result, the actual driven route of an experienced driver of
