O autorze

Wenlong Jin is an Associate Professor in the Institute of Transportation Studies, at the University of California, Irvine, focusing on the study of drivers' individual choice behaviours (trajectories) and collective queueing processes (cumulative flows). His research interests include modeling and analysing dynamic and stationary traffic patterns at bottlenecks in road networks, using junction models, cell transmission models, link transmission models, capacity drop models, and network stationary models. He has published more than 40 journal articles, including in Elsevier's Transportation Research Part B: Methodological (for which he serves on the Editorial Advisory Board), and Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies.
