Behzad's research topic: 

The emergence of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) has led to significant transformations in the transportation industry. CAVs have the potential to greatly affect various transportation facets, including road capacity and safety. By receiving and transmitting real-time information about road conditions, CAVs can avoid congestion caused by disruptions and adjust their routes to enhance network resilience via rerouting. Moreover, these vehicles can choose alternative routes that benefit society as a whole. Therefore, it is critical to evaluate the impact of CAVs on the resilience of road networks. Nonetheless, few studies have assessed the resilience of large-scale road networks by considering all dimensions of resilience, such as redundancy, robustness, and recovery speed. Behzad's doctoral thesis aims to quantify the resilience of road networks in the presence of CAVs. This thesis introduces novel traffic simulation tools, methods for assessing road network resilience, and traffic optimization algorithms.
