Biosketch and research areas

I am presently Professor of Transport Systems Analysis and Head of the Department of Transport and Economics (www.kth.se/abe/Institutioner/tec/1.7185?l=en_UK) at the School of Architecture and the Built Environment (www.kth.se/abe?l=en_UK) Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. After having finished my M.S. in Engineering Physics at the Royal Institute of Technology in 1972, I worked for a consulting firm, 1973-75, and for the Swedish Planning and Rationalization Institute of the Health and Social Services, 1975-78. Then I was an associate of the Research Group for Urban and Regional Planning in the Department of Mathematics at the Royal Institute of Technology, 1978-86, and I received my Ph.D. in Optimisation there in 1987. Thereafter I worked for the Office of Regional Planning and Urban Transportation, County of Stockholm, 1986-91. I returned back to the Royal Institute of Technology as Associate Professor (Docent) of Regional Planning in 1991. I held positions as Acting Professor and Head of the Division of Transport and Traffic Planning, 1995-97, and Acting Professor of Transport Systems Analysis from 1998 until I was appointed Professor in 1999.

My research interests comprise both theoretical and applied work related to Transport and Location Analysis (www.infra.kth.se/tla/?lang=en&content=start). In particular, I am interested in Integrated Land Use and Transport Models, Travel Demand Models, Location Models, Infrastructure and Regional Development, Vulnerability Analysis, Applied Systems Analysis, Road Pricing, Random Utility Theory, Discrete Choice and Economic Theory.

I am presently leading five major projects:

·        Assessment of long term effects of economic policy instruments on the transport system funded by VINNOVA, the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems and the Swedish Road Administration,

·        Analyses of the Stockholm congestion charging trial funded by VINNOVA, the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems and the Swedish Road Administration,

·        Vulnerability analyses of road networks funded by VINNOVA, the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems and the Swedish Road Administration (www.infra.kth.se/tla/projects/vulnerability/),

·        Modelling and analysis of a sustainable transport and land use system funded by VINNOVA, the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems (www.infra.kth.se/tla/projects/landuse/),

·        Impacts of poor road surface standard: Lowest acceptable standard funded by the Swedish Road Administration

I have recently finished five major projects:

·         Operation and maintenance effects in railway infrastructure funded by the Swedish National Rail Administration,

·         Vulnerability in the Swedish rail transport system funded by the Swedish National Rail Administration and The Swedish Emergency Management Agency,

·         Development of activity-based models for the Stockholm region funded by VINNOVA, The Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems,

·         Research in the area of transport and location analysis funded by VINNOVA, The Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems,

·         Vulnerability in the Swedish road transportation network funded by VINNOVA, The Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems and ÖCB, The Swedish Agency for Civil Emergency Planning.

I have supervised ten Ph.D. and thirteen Lic. Eng. Theses as principal or assistant supervisor. I am presently supervising seven Ph.D. candidates.

I have been the co-ordinator of a Nordic Research Network on Modelling Transport, Land-Use and the Environment (the TLE-Network) (http://www.infra.kth.se/tla/tlenet/) that has been supported for a 5-year period by NorFA, the Nordic Academy for Advanced Study (http://www.norfa.no/). I am associate editor of the Annals of Regional Science, member of the Board of the Centre for Traffic Research, Royal Institute of Technology (www.infra.kth.se/ctr/index_en.htm) and deputy member of the Board of the Centre for Operations and Maintenance, Royal Institute of Technology (www.infra.kth.se/cdu/).
