To do my Erasmus traineeship at PTV Group was a dream come true! This experience was crucial both technically and personally and gave me the essential skills for my future career in transportation. It enabled me to stand out and be hired for my new position.
As a student who is pursuing an academic career, I was very excited to start my internship with PTV Group. Thanks to PTV’s academic and research-based approach, I can create the link between my theoretical background and the real-world problems on Machine Learning and Operations Research.
As a data-lover, I use PTV Visum to develop data-driven methods to solve the Dynamic Origin-Destination Estimation Problem of Simulation Traffic Models. I combine different sources of data, such as Traffic Counts from real sensors and large GPS tracking databases to estimate the OD matrices that feed the SBA Visum models.
For more than forty years my academic research has been focused on Traffic and Transportation Systems and the associated modeling techniques, optimization, and simulation to make them operational.
Models are the most consistent scientific approach to understand the behavior of complex dynamic systems and be able of forecasting their evolution, making decisions, and optimizing their performance.
#IamIgniting is part of PTV Group’s global campaign that highlights the exceptional work that the customers and partners are doing with PTV’s traffic software solutions. The website gives their ignitions and stories a digital home. #IamIgniting welcomes students, researchers, transport planners, and those who are passionate about the future of mobility.
