Activity Landscape Design Laboratory
Designing better cities by understanding mechanisms of human behavior
We develop mathematical technologies to observe, understand and forecast human behavior in urban spaces, which allow us to forecast travel-activity demands as responses to designs. Based on the technologies, we study how to optimize designs of urban spaces and mobility systems. As such, we think of urban and transportation planning from the perspective of designing human behavior.
This lab is for this SDG activity:
STUDY FIELDS
- Urban Engineering
- Transportation Planning
- Landscape Design
FOR SOCIETY
We develop tools to aid better designs of cities
RESEARCH THEMES
- Pedestrian travel and activity simulation
- Demand based urban planning
- Micro land-use management using behavior modeling
- Optimal design of mobility and logistics systems
