She received her BSc from Peking University and PhD from Cambridge University.  Before joining ITS Leeds, she was a Research Fellow at University College London, and while at ITS, she was seconded to head the Transport Modelling Division at TRL, UK in 2005.  She served as an Associate Editor for journal IEEE Transaction on Intelligent Transportation Systems, and Member of Editorial Board of IET Journal of Intelligent Transport.


Lecture Introduction:

As a first-best pricing scheme to minimize social cost, TBP is however not always Pareto-improving in that it may harm some drivers. The objective of this study is to investigate and design Pareto-improving TBP schemes for a two-to-one merge bottleneck. This talk presents the concepts of TBP, Pareto-improvement, and the specific design solutions.
