DR. KIEN TRUNG DOAN
I have a strong motivation in transportation because it is the back bone of the society and economy of any country. Coming back home from the US with the degrees from two prestigious schools (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Purdue University), I always hope to do as much as possible to improve the safety, mobility and efficiency of our transportation system...
CURRENT PROJECT
Green Transport Development Project
We are currently building the first Bus Rapid Transit line in the city. It is a 23-km segregated busway along the main corridor Vo Van Kiet and Mai Chi Tho. The project is expected to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution, improve traffic safety, renew urban areas, and create green streetscape spaces for the people living along the corridor.
LATEST RESEARCH
A-RESCUE: An Agent based Regional Evacuation Simulator Coupled with User Enriched Behavior
This paper studies the household behavior and dynamic traffic flows in the event of hurricane evacuations. A high fidelity multi-agent simulation model called A-RESCUE (Agent-based Regional
Evacuation Simulator Coupled with User Enriched behavior) integrates the rich activity behavior of the evacuating households with the network level assignment to predict and evaluate evacuation clearance times.
