Transportation Research
For my day job I work in the Transportation Research Group (TRG) at the University of Southampton. I am interested in how technology, information and automation can be employed to build a more efficient and sustainable transport system.
My current research is about how we can use Machine Learning methods to build traffic light junction control systems that can learn strategies from Human experts and through experience. Find out more about this here.
I am also interested in fun and engaging ways to inform people about transportation research and the issues we are working on. This year I was involved in building a number of interactive games for an exhibit at the Royal Society Summer science exhibition. Find out about my Scalextric set fitted with traffic control here.

TRG at the Royal Society
2011-07-11 18:08:52This month I helped to run a Transportation Research Group exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition. The exhibit was called 21st Centrury Traffic Control: The Invisible Referee. You can visit the exhibit micro site here. The exhibit featured three interactive displays. Two of these were touch screen computer games, one on traffic light junction control and one on "phantom waves". The third activity was a Scalextric set with traffic control. The exhibit also featured some…
