The Team

Team Slogan:​

Coming together is the beginning. Staying together is progress. Working together is success.

For newcomers:
 

The three elements of motivation, leadership, and teamwork create the foundation for our productivity and scientific success. 
A leadership title is not necessary to exhibit leadership behaviors. All the team members should display the characteristics of a leader. Motivation and leadership are elements of teamwork. Understanding these three intertwined topics will improve our success!
We may be strong as individuals but together we are invincible.

Mohammad Arbabpour Bidgoli

Researcher

cv

Mohammad is a researcher in Transportation Engineering at the CGC lab. His research primarily focuses on modeling users’ behaviors in active transport modes, with a specific interest in cycling. He obtained his M.Sc. in Road & Transportation Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology. In his current research, Mohammad employs a cycling simulator equipped with VR technology and an EEG device. This allows him to study cyclists’ behavioral and neurological responses in different cycling infrastructure designs, traffic conditions, built environments, and even varying weather conditions and times of day and night. By developing models and presenting indexes, Mohammad aims to gain a deeper understanding of cyclists’ perceptions and contribute to enhancing cycling safety and comfort.
