processes.
Modelling Behaviour in Integrated Energy and Transport Models -A reviewIEA-ETSAP
This document reviews the modelling of behaviour in integrated energy and transport models. It finds that while models are increasingly representing factors like modal choice and technology choice through discrete choice models, there is still room for improvement in modelling driving patterns, mobility services, and freight transport behaviour. The review evaluates models' representation of behaviours, methodologies like elasticities and time budgets, and the pros and cons of different approaches. It concludes that more work could be done to endogenize factors like speed and load factors to better capture system interactions.
In my present position I am dealing with GIS, Strategic Modelling, Microsimulation and data analysis aspects of Transport Projects. Along with that I haves some UK experiences and regulations such as DMRD, Manual for Streets, Web TAG, TSRGD and other DOI guidance. I found this subject very stimulating for my future career path.

Vladimir Propp and Tzvetan Todorov developed influential theories about narrative structure. Propp suggested that all stories follow 8 character archetypes and a specific sequence of events. Todorov proposed that narratives follow a 5-stage structure moving from equilibrium, to disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, to a new equilibrium. Roland Barthes viewed texts as a non-linear "galaxy" of signifiers that can be interpreted through multiple codes and meanings rather than a single structured reading.
The document presents a localization technique for wireless sensor networks that uses trilateration based on received signal strength. It begins with an introduction to wireless sensor networks and localization. It then discusses related work on trilateration localization techniques. The document proposes a methodology that uses signal propagation models to estimate distances between nodes from received signal strength, and then applies trilateration to compute node positions in 3D space using four or more anchor nodes. It presents simulation results showing the mean square error decreases and localization accuracy increases as the number of anchor nodes increases. The technique provides more accurate localization than existing fuzzy logic approaches, with average localization errors less than 0.5 units when using 100 anchor nodes.

This document discusses challenges faced by tramway systems worldwide and analyzes two case studies: the Heliopolis tramway in Cairo and the Craiova tramway in Romania. It traces the history of tramways from the 19th century and identifies that increased costs, private car popularity, and bus competition led to tramway declines globally. However, some cities like Craiova rehabilitated old tramways instead of removal, proving more cost-effective. The document aims to determine challenges to tramway continuity and reasons for Heliopolis' removal by exploring different regulatory approaches.

Academic and Professional Background
B.Sc. (1971) at the Technion, Faculty of Industrial and Management Engineering. M.Sc. (1972) and Ph.D.
(1975) on the subject of Transportation with emphasis on Operations Research and Human Factors, at the
University of California at Berkeley, USA. Was the Chief Scientist at the Israel Ministry of Transport and
Israel delegate to the Transport Program of the European Community from 1994 to 1997. In 2006-2007 was the
Head of the Department of Transportation Engineering and Geo-Information at the Technion, and between
2008-2014 Founder, and the Director of, the Transportation Research Centre (TRC) at the University of
Auckland (the first such research centre in New Zealand).
Scientific Impacts
His most significant contributions are: (1) as the sole author of the books Public Transit Planning and
Operation: Theory, Modeling and Practice, Elsevier, Oxford, UK, 640 p. 2007. This book was translated to
Chinese by the Tsinghua publication press, Beijing, China, 2010; 2nd
edition Public Transit Planning and
Operation: Modeling, Practice and Behavior, CRC Press, Taylor & Francis, London, UK, 742 p.2016. This
2nd
edition is being translated to Chinese and Korean (by Oct’2016); (2) First modeling of vehicle scheduling
graphical person-computer interactive approach based on a step (deficit) function. The associated software is
optimizing more than a few public-transport systems by saving large number of buses especially in Europe
and Hong Kong, e.g., KMB agency, using this model, has been able to save more than 20 double-decker
buses; (3) Development of the first method for constructing practical design of an efficient public-transport
network of routes. This problem is known to be complex; (4) First development of prudent public-transport
timetables that optimize the correspondence of vehicle-departure times with passenger demand; and (5) First
formulation and solution of the public-transport route-choice dilemma.
Career Achievements

its modeling and software for the entire city of Haifa with ½ million inhabitants (appear in 10 Journal (10-J)
papers); (2) developed modeling of scheduling for the EGGED agency of 4000 buses (11-J papers); (3)
developed modeling and methods from which the entire Hong Kong Ferry network was constructed (2-J
papers); (4) developed innovative scheduling software methods for OPTIBUS software used in a few
countries in Scandinavia (18-J papers); (5) developed the modeling and simulation of a smart bus
shuttle service for the Bay Area Transit System (BART) in California (6-J papers); and (6)
collaborated on future development of the public-transport control center of Beijing built for the 2008
