The Ohio State University - Present
- Assistant professor of transportation and director
Dr. Andre L. Carrel is an assistant professor of transportation and the director of the Ohio State Travel Behavior Research Group(link is external). His expertise is in travel demand modeling and public transportation, and his research focuses on the dynamics of travel behavior, travelers’ adaptation to experienced service quality, and the impact of emerging mobility technologies on travel behavior. His research contributes to the forecasting of long-term trends in travel behavior and has practical implications for designing policies to promote more sustainable travel choices and to strengthen public transportation. His principal methods involve complex, survey-based studies, discrete choice models, and the integration of automatically collected data from mobile phones with survey data. Dr. Carrel is jointly appointed in Civil Engineering and City and Regional Planning and is a core faculty member of the Ohio State Translational Data Analytics Institute(link is external). He is the recipient of a 2021 NSF CAREER award(link is external). Dr. Carrel graduated from UC Berkeley, MIT, and ETH Zurich, and was a postdoctoral associate at the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics. His academic experience spans both passenger transportation and logistics.
