Post-Doctoral Position In Travel Behavior And Demand Modelling

Job Description

Introduction The Singapore-ETH Centre's Future Cities Lab Global, in collaboration with the National University of Singapore, has an opening for a post-doctoral researcher in Travel Behavior and Demand Modeling. Project background This project translates methods for fusing household travel survey (HTS) data with passively collected mobility data (e.g., transit smart-card records) into the travel demand modelling workflow of the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore. It will assess whether models estimated from fused, population-scale activity plans can reproduce the behavioural relationships and planning conclusions that LTA currently derives from the HTS, and how far the survey sample can be reduced without compromising them. The project also extends large language model-based population synthesis to generate synthetic activity schedules at an urban scale and evaluates whether these can credibly supplement a reduced survey sample.
