Awards / Accolades

DR HUNT'S research interests include mathematical modelling of transportation-related aspects of human behaviour. Primary areas of focus are:

• The interaction between transportation and land use
• Stated response techniques for obtaining data for estimation of model parameters
• Automobile parking behaviour and parking policy

 

Recent and on-going activities include:

• Developing a land use and transport model of Edmonton using the MEPLAN framework
• Participating in a study to compare land use and transport models of Sacramento based on alternative modelling frameworks
• Advising two British Rail subsidiaries, Union Railways and European Passenger Services, on the forecasting of the demand for international rail services using the Channel Tunnel
• Conducting a study using stated response techniques to measure and quantify Calgarians' attitudes to elements of urban form, including mobility, density, taxes and the environment
• Developing a model of mode and parking location choice in Calgary using the EMME/2 framework
• Investigating methods of representing the joint choice of workplace location, home location and travel mode to work using data collected in Calgary
• Conducting a study of the factors influencing choice of time of travel for recreational trips using stated preference techniques
• Analysing the factors influencing the decision to join the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering using stated preference techniques
• Analysing the factors influencing the selection of a home location using stated preference techniques
