Dr. Peeta’s research interests are multidisciplinary, span several methodological domains, and include among others: (i) the modeling and analysis of the dynamics of large-scale transportation systems, (ii) modeling and methodologies to address interdependencies among infrastructure systems, (iii) real-time information-based navigation in vehicular traffic networks, (iv) modeling human behavior/learning associated with drivers/travelers, (v) integrated supply-demand-performance models for strategic planning and real-time operations for various applications, (vi) understanding linkages between transportation, energy and environment, (vii) modeling policy options that impact transportation system evolution, (viii) systems and system-of-systems perspectives to address complex adaptive systems (ranging from engineered systems to human enterprise systems), and (ix) connected and autonomous vehicles.
