QUANTITATIVE LIFE SCIENCES GUEST SEMINAR

Thursday, 30 June at 11:00 am

ICTP, Central Area, 2nd floor, old SISSA building

Speaker: May Tan LIM - National Institute of Physics, University of the 
Philippines

Title: " Modeling vehicular traffic in the Philippines"

Abstract:
Traffic systems modeling has largely been an engineering problem and 
entire software packages built around the problem currently exist. Yet 
some assumptions may be worth questioning. In this talk, I will provide 
an overview of some unique features of vehicular traffic in the 
Philippines. These features, which range from driving behavior to 
management methods, provide an interesting test bed for traffic models 
with adaptive agents.
