Dr.ir. I. (Irene) Martínez
Profile
Research
Her research interest is traffic flow theory and control in the era of autonomous, connected, and shared mobility. Her goal is to develop traffic models and management strategies leveraging the new (available and upcoming) technologies to reduce congestion and improve the transportation system overall. She has worked on the design of multiple management strategies, such as Variable Speed Limits, High-Occupancy-Toll lanes, and fleet sizing of shared mobility systems.
