This postdoc project seeks to make a significant contribution in analyzing and modeling pedestrian movements in urban environments. The aim is to develop and implement novel methodologies for (i) analyzing revealed behaviour, (ii) modeling potential behaviour and (iii) predicting future behaviour of pedestrians.
