Dr. Joshua Auld is a Principal Computational Transportation Engineer and Manager of the Transportation Systems and Mobility team in the Vehicle and Mobility Simulations Group at the Argonne National Laboratory Center for Transportation Research. He is an expert in agent-based modeling, behavioral analysis, transportation simulation and travel data collection and is the lead designer of the POLARIS transportation simulation system. His research focuses on traveler behavior and decision making - from both a modeling and data collection perspective - and the impact that connectivity, automation and control have on travel demand and transportation. Dr. Auld received his Doctorate from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2011 in Civil and Materials Engineering. He is the author of over 50 peer reviewed journal articles, book chapters and editorials, and is currently a member of the TRB Transportation Demand Forecasting and Traffic Simulation Committees.
