The Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) Short Course Program last July 27-31, 2015 on Modeling and Simulation of
Transportation Networks under Prof. Moshe Ben-Akiva was indeed a very
intellectually satisfying experience as it provided me with theoretical and
practical know how that can be used in our current transport research.

| With Prof. Moshe Ben-Akiva |
Professor
Moshe Ben-Akiva is a well-known researcher and book author in discrete choice
modelling, especially in transportation analysis and planning applications.
Equally capable guest lecturers were Prof. Ennio Cascetta (University of
Naples, Italy), Prof. Haris Koutsopoulos (Northeastern University, Boston),
Prof. Hani Mahmassani (Northwestern University, Chicago) and Assoc. Prof.
Pierluigi Coppola (University of Rome, Italy).
The topics included (a) modeling and
simulation approaches in transportation, (b) macroscopic, mesoscopic, and
microscopic traffic simulation, (c) static and dynamic network supply models,
(d) discrete choice analysis, (e) activity based models, (f) integrated land
use and transportation models, (g) pricing and travel time reliability, (h)
public transportation, (i) economic activity models, (j) logistics choices, and
(k) calibration and validation.
I intend to share the valuable learnings I
gained from this short course program with my students, both in the ungraduated
and graduate levels, and also provide further theoretical support to our
ongoing research in transportation here at DLSU.
