Mohammed Quddus is Chair in Intelligent Transport Systems in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Imperial College London. Professor Quddus received his PhD in Intelligent Transport Systems from Imperial College London in 2006. He obtained his master’s degree in Transport Engineering from the National University of Singapore in 2001 and his bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 1998, Bangladesh. Prior to joining Imperial, he was the Professor of Intelligent Transport Systems and Head of Transport and Urban Planning Group at the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering at Loughborough University.

Professor Quddus is renowned internationally for his ground-breaking research in transport safety, autonomous and connected transport, big data analytics and map-matching for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). His seminal papers on AI-based map-matching algorithms have been influential and highly cited by researchers world-wide and implemented by the ITS industry, car manufacturers and National Highways (UK).

The vision of future transport is increasingly based on the concept of Intelligent Mobility (IM) where the connected capabilities of partially and fully autonomous vehicles, road infrastructure and traffic management systems place people and goods at the heart of the transport system. New intelligent technologies could deliver a step change in safety and mobility but they bring many research challenges. With this in mind, Prof Quddus has been working with his Research Associates, PhD students and colleagues from other disciplines, universities and industry in the areas of operations, planning and risk assessment of autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles.

His research projects have been primarily funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), National Highways, Department for Transport (UK) and the European Union (EU). He has an excellent track record in mentoring and supervising post-doctoral researchers and PhD students. So far, he has authored/co-authored over 140 journal articles, 130 conference papers, six book chapters and 20 technical reports that have accumulated a total of 16,500 citations from researchers all around the world. He served as an Associate Editor of a prestigious Journal - Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies and a member of TRB (Transportation Research Board, USA) committee on Safety Data, Analysis and Modelling.
