Rate My Professor Milad Ghasrikhouzani

Dr Milad Ghasrikhouzani is a Senior Lecturer in Travel Behaviour and Transport Modelling at UNSW Canberra's School of Engineering and Technology, University of New South Wales. Specializing in behavioural modelling, discrete choice analysis, and consumer preference research, his work centers on the adoption of transport innovations such as autonomous vehicles and electric vehicles. He investigates individual decision-making, social influences on behavioral shifts, and systemic factors shaping travel behaviour in evolving mobility landscapes. His research receives support from government and industry partners, including the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute, ACT Government, NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet, and NSW Office of Environment and Heritage.

Ghasrikhouzani completed his PhD in 2018 at UNSW's School of Civil and Environmental Engineering with a thesis titled "Disaggregate behavioural land use modelling," supervised by Professor S. Travis Waller and Dr. Taha Rashidi. He holds prior B.S. and M.S. degrees. His scholarly output includes over 30 journal articles and 18 conference papers. Notable publications are "Perception towards electric vehicles and the impact on consumers’ preference" (Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 2019; 173 citations), "Ensemble of ARIMA: combining parametric and bootstrapping technique for traffic flow prediction" (Transportmetrica A: Transport Science, 2020; 160 citations), "Factors affecting unmanned aerial vehicles’ safety: a post-occurrence exploratory data analysis of drones’ accidents and incidents in Australia" (Safety Science, 2021; 122 citations), and recent works like "Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi-Disciplinary Review" (Journal of Field Robotics, 2025). With 919 citations on Google Scholar, his contributions impact transport planning, econometrics, land use, and simulation modelling. He teaches subjects including Transportation Engineering, Econometrics in Transport Modelling, Urban Transport Planning Practice, and Engineering Operation and Control.
