Arkadiusz Drabicki
Arkadiusz Drabicki is a post-doctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich, Chair of Transportation Systems’ Engineering. He completed his PhD in transportation at Cracow University of Technology (Poland). He has also made research stays at the TU Delft (Netherlands) and Edinburgh Napier University (UK). His PhD research has been awarded at the TRA VISIONS 2022: Young Researcher Competition (1st place in the Cross-Modality panel).
His research interests focus around: transportation modelling and planning, travel behaviour analysis, ITS data in public transport. In addition to scientific activities, he has also practical experience in developing transportation models, forecasts and feasibility studies for cities and regions in Poland (incl. Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Poznan, Masovia, Lesser Poland).
