Here is a list of projects I am currently working on.
Project STUB
Project STUB is a research effort funded by the TruBlo consortium that aims to use blockchain technology to bring smart ticketing to the transportation industry.
The project explores a unique approach that combines an ontology with a blockchain to create a new data structure.
The goal of Project STUB is to demonstrate the feasibility of using blockchain technology to revolutionize the way we handle ticketing in the transport sector.
Project In2Track3
Project In2Track3 is a research project that focuses on using machine learning to predict the degradation of track geometry on two sections of railway in Great Britain.
It involves collaboration with Network Rail and is part of the Shift2Rail initiative. The project incorporates various data sources, including weather data, geology data, and information about the track, to develop a machine learning model that can accurately predict track degradation.
The goal of Project In2Track3 is to improve track maintenance and overall rail infrastructure management through the use of advanced data analysis and machine learning techniques.
Project MoBS
Project MoBS is a research project that focuses on the development of blockchain decision frameworks.
It aims to help potential users determine if blockchain technology is the right choice for their needs or if an alternative solution should be considered.
The project explores a departure from traditional decision tree frameworks and instead proposes the use of score-based approaches to make technology choices.
The ultimate goal of Project MoBS is to provide practical guidance for individuals and organizations looking to implement blockchain technology.
Project New Normal
Project New Normal is a research project that aims to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rail usage.
The project involves a survey of rail users in Great Britain and a similar survey conducted by a partner university in China.
The survey asked participants about their railway usage before, during, and after the pandemic.
The results of the survey are being analyzed to identify changes in behavior and establish trends in rail usage.
The goal of Project New Normal is to gain a deeper understanding of how the pandemic has affected rail usage and inform future policy and planning decisions in the railway industry.
Project UoB Transport
Project UoB Transport is a research project that aims to understand travel patterns of staff and students at the University of Birmingham.
The project involved a survey of individuals to gather information about how they travel to and from work.
The data collected is being analyzed to identify patterns and establish trends in travel behavior.
The goal of Project UoB Transport is to gain insights into the travel habits of the university community and inform future transportation planning and policy decisions.
