Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering

Department of Civil Engineering, Saitama University, Japan.

Dissertation Title: “Development of Traffic Calming Decision Making Process”. September 2009.

Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering.

Department of Civil Engineering, Saitama University, Japan. Dissertation Title: “Comparative Study of Traffic Calming Design and Planning Process”. March 2005.

Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering.

Department of Civil Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka, Bangladesh. September 1998.

My research aims have been focused within four main areas: 1) to improve road safety analysis and evaluation techniques, 2) to develop, implement and evaluate traffic calming decision making process and its prioritization system, 3) Statistical modeling to improve the level of knowledge associated with transportation planning implications and 4) to evaluate service quality of public transport. My research employs statistical methods in the residential street safety analysis, particularly in modeling the relationship between safety and street characteristics. Specific aspects of my research include: formal procedures in deciding when and which improvements such as traffic calming devices are required; improvement of public transport service quality; tools for designing safety for new roads; pedestrian safety facilities; parking management for increasing mobility on arterial roads; and tools for traffic management improvements. My current research is firstly on implementation of bus priority lanes in the context of heterogeneous traffic in developing cities and secondly assessment of ride sharing service based on customers opinion in Dhaka city.  My research will also continue to improve the knowledge base for using these tools by developing more practical procedures for estimating the outcomes of decisions. My research also focuses on the construction management system in Bangladesh, particularly safety practices in construction sites at Dhaka city using statistical models.
