Additional research contributions

[edit]

I was wondering if you thought adding the following to Hesham Rakha's research was worthy of adding:

Rakha developed algorithms to estimate and predict the spatio-temporal evolution of a transportation system[1][2] and identify the best time to embark on a trip.[3][4] Rakha also developed speed harmonization (also known as variable speed limit) algorithms to control the flow and speed of vehicles on freeways to eliminate and/or reduce traffic jams[5]. Rakha developed tools to compare and quantify the energy and environmental impacts of alternative powertrains on the train freight system in the US.[6] Rakha also quantified network-wide non-exhaust tire and brake emissions from electric vehicles and compared them to gasoline vehicles[7].
