Gabe Jiangbo Yu, Ph.D.
Thanks for visiting my page. My research is at the intersection of system dynamics, mathematical psychology, data science, and transportation systems engineering. I believe that a better understanding the cognition and behaviors of humans and artificial intelligence under pressure, uncertainty, and overwhelming information are critical in improving equitable access to resources and opportunities.
​
In addition, through AECOM, I provide consulting and training services to public agencies, research institutes, and businesses on topics such as travel demand, mobility-as-a-service, autonomous and connected vehicles, land use-transportation interaction, location-based service data mining, project prioritization, congestion pricing, freight management, traffic impact studies, and tourism forecast.
RECENT SAMPLE PROJECTS
Behavioral Decision Science
ShareCity is a research initiative, in which one major component is to apply the cognitive agent-based modeling framework I developed to studying capacity sharing services and autonomous vehicles. Agents are modeled at cognition level rather than revealed behavior level.
Training & Teaching
I am current providing training courses and on-call support to the North Caroline Department of Transportation and Virginia Department of Transportation on travel demand modeling and model applications.
Behavioral Model Development
I am current working with Cambridge Systematics on developing California Statewide Activity-based Travel Demand Model to assist the planning and policy/taxation study under various scenarios of socioeconomic and technological development.
Data Science
I am currently working with AASHTO and FHWA on updating the CTPP data and provide technical supports on data processing, data mining, and research.
Prescriptive Decision Science
I am currently working with United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) to finalize the 24th edition of Condition & Performance Report for the Congress as a statutory requirement and to improve the decision support tool for capital investment (TERM).
