My main research interest is microscopic simulation modelling of road-based urban transport systems. Since 1994 I have been working on the development of a microscopic traffic simulation model, called ARTEMiS (pdf file: 129 Kb). Since 1999 I am involved in research on modelling vehicle interactions using intelligent agent concepts, especially in modelling lane changing and merging, and published several papers on this topic. There are several research topics within this area that I could offer for research students interested in this field, especially for persons having some programming experience.
