Vishal Mahajan

Vishal is doing his Ph.D. and co-leading the TraMPA project at the chair of Transportation Systems Engineering, Technical University of Munich (TUM). Vishal holds a bachelor’s degree in Civil engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India, and a master of science in Transportation Systems from the Technical University of Munich, Germany. He has worked as a Deputy Manager (Tech.) at the National Highways Authority of India for more than four years and as a Student Research Assistant in machine learning at Fortiss GmbH.
Research Focus
His research concerns public/ open data for traffic estimation, traffic forecasting, large-scale traffic simulations, and calibration of transport models. He applies statistical, machine, and deep learning methods in his research.
