Brief Description of Project

Shives is broadly interested in intelligent transportation systems and applied machine learning. His research focuses on machine learning-based travel time prediction for urban bus transit. He has processed the crude GPS data obtained from buses running in Kandy, Sri Lanka, and developed algorithms to extract historical travel times, dwell times, and running times of buses. He is currently investigating a multi-model ensemble approach in real-time prediction of bus arrival time to successive downstream bus stops.
