Research Areas: Dr Haque's specific research interests include
- Traffic Conflict Analysis
- Connected and Automated Vehicles,
- Human Factors and Driving Behaviour
- Engineering Factors in Traffic Operation and Safety
- Black Spot Identification Techniques
- Travel Behaviour
- Driving Simulator Research
- Econometrics and Artificial Intelligence Applications in Transport Engineering
Traffic Conflict Analysis
Surrogate measures or traffic conflict techniques (TCTs)—where vehicle, pedestrian, and bicyclist movements are measured and monitored at sites—have been scrutinized for a couple of decades, but recent and significant technological breakthroughs give rise to a research opportunity that can overcome past shortcomings of road safety management that only relied on crash outcomes. This technique has the potential to transform the road safety management to proactive practice. Dr. Haque has applied traffic conflict techniques to following research needs:
- Examining the relationship between conflicts and crashes
- Evaluating road safety of transport facilities like intersections and highways
- Examining road safety of various road users like pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists
Connected and Automated Vehicles
Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) are likely to revolutionize private, public and commercial mobility and represent the future of the transport system. Dr. Haque’s research in CAVs are focussed on the following key research directions:
- Develop safety models to examine crash risks associated with CAVs
- Investigate microscopic traffic interactions between CAVs and traditional vehicles
- Develop effective management strategies to integrated CAVs into the transport system
- Study travel behavior implications of CAVs
Human Factors and Driving Behavior
Over the past decades, there has been a considerable amount of research in the modeling of driving behaviors like car following, lane changing, gap acceptance, and speed selection behaviors. To investigate the effects of human factors and driver errors on these microscopic traffic flow models, Dr. Haque’s research is involved in the following research topics:
- Impact of mobile phone distraction on driving behavior and safety
- Car-following and lane-changing behavior of drivers
- Speed selection behavior and their relationship with safety
- Driver interactions with traffic lights
- Gap acceptance behavior of drivers
Engineering Factors in Traffic Operation and Safety
Engineering factors like roadway geometric and traffic characteristics are not only important for efficient traffic operation but also influence road safety. Dr. Haque’s research in this space includes:
- Motorcycle safety at signalized intersections
- Traffic safety along rural mountainous highways
Black Spot Identification Techniques
The identification of Blackspots or crash locations or locations with high risk is crucial for efficient safety management of a transport network. Driver behavior or human factors are predominant factors in a major portion of crashes, yet these factors are routinely excluded from Safety Performance Functions (SPFs), mainly because these factors are difficult to measure and generally are not readily available. The impact of excluding behavioral factors in SPFs is that their contribution to crashes will be statistically attributed to observed, highly correlated geometric and operational factors. Dr. Haque’s research in this topic include:
- Developing SPFs accommodating roadway geometric, driver behavior and spatial factors
- Incorporating injury severity in blackspot identification techniques
- Developing efficient criteria to identify blackspots correctly
Travel Behavior
Dr. Haque’s research is also focussed on investigating the travel behavior of commuters. He has been involved in applying econometric modeling techniques to understand behavior responses across travel scenarios. His research interests include
- Examining the mode choice behavior
- Influence of land use patterns on travel behavior
- Investigating the relationship between travel behavior factors and safety
- Integrating safety into transport planning stages
- Travel behavior in response to connected and automated vehicles
Driving Simulator Research
Driving simulators are an excellent tool to investigate human factors associated with driving behavior and safety. Dr. Haque has extensive experience in conducting driving simulator research and has successfully conducted several driving simulator experiments to understand the following critical research issues:
- Driver distraction and safety
- Driving behavior in connected and automated vehicles (CAVs)
- Microscopic traffic interactions like car-following, braking, and interactions with traffic lights
- Speed selection behavior of drivers across various infrastructure settings
Econometric and Artificial Intelligence Applications in Transport Engineering
Dr. Haque’s research is mainly involved in developing cutting-edge Statistical and Econometric models and Artificial Intelligence techniques for transport engineering applications. Some important models of his research are Bayesian hierarchical models, simultaneous equation models, data mining with classification and decision trees, Artificial Neural Networks, generalized estimation equations, multi-process count regression models, accelerated failure time duration models, and advanced discrete choice models like random parameters logit model and heterogeneous ordered Probit model. He has applied these models in various applications like
- Traffic safety around connected and automated vehicles (CAVs)
- Explaining microscopic traffic interactions
- Safety Performance Functions for transport facilities
- Examining Travel behavior of commuters

Teaching
Course: Statistical and Optimisation Methods for Engineers
This unit offered an introduction to statistical methods and optimisation methods useful for engineers in practice. It included the following: the process of stochastic research, linear regression analysis, simultaneous equation model, count data model, time series, classical optimisation methods, Nonlinear, geometric and dynamic programming.
Course: Traffic Flow & Control
The objectives of this module were to: (1) enable students to appreciate the characteristics of traffic flow and develop an understanding of traffic phenomena, and (2) develop the student's ability to conceptualise, measure, model and apply traffic phenomena. At the end of the course, students should be able to appreciate the complexity of traffic characteristics and issues related to representing traffic in mathematical models and formulate typical traffic problems, and develop suitable traffic models as well as derive and validate traffic model results.
Course: Design Project
In this module, the students were assigned an integrated design project involving various disciplines of civil engineering. The module provided the opportunity for students to work as a team on a civil engineering project integrating the knowledge they had gained from modules they had taken in earlier years. The module was also targeted to enhance their interpersonal, communication and leadership skills through group projects, report writing and a few oral presentations.
Course: Analysis of Civil Engineering Experiments
This module was designed for graduate coursework and research students in the Department of Civil Engineering. It introduced students the nature of civil engineering experiments and characteristics of data gathered. Fundamental methods to conduct in-laboratory and field experiments to verify civil engineering models were covered. Included in this module was also the procedure to construct empirical, deterministic and stochastic civil engineering models based on experimental measurements. Examples were drawn from the various fields in civil engineering discipline, including structure, geotechnical, hydraulics, environmental and transportation engineering. In the guest lecture, students were taught some of the basic fundamentals of a statistical regression model.
Course: Integrated Infrastructure Project
This module allowed students to integrate their knowledge in various civil engineering disciplines and apply their understanding into creatively developing a large-scale infrastructure project. Organized in the form of a competition, the module required student teams to work out a master concept plan of a real-world infrastructure project.
Course: Transportation Engineering
This module introduced basic principles and tools to design, plan, evaluate, analyse, manage and control transportation systems. The aim was to enable students to identify, formulate, examine, and solve transportation engineering problems. The major topics included transportation system, planning and management, geometric design of roads and intersections, structural design of pavement, pavement materials, traffic flow and analysis, and traffic management and control.
Course: Infrastructure and the Environment
Civil infrastructure has significant impact on the natural, social, economic and human environments. Engineers have a significant role to play in proposing and realising technical solutions that are economically feasible and environmentally sustainable. Sustainable infrastructure development must consider all significant project impacts in a holistic way through a methodical impact assessment process. This module introduced the concepts to conceptualize and evaluate proposals for infrastructure development in a holistic and sustainable way.
Course: Road Safety Audit, Investigation and Treatment of Crash Locations
The aim of this professional course is to develop the skills required to conduct a road safety audit, investigate crash sites, and propose remedial treatments. It also provides an opportunity for the course participants to apply these skills. Road Safety Audit and Investigation, and Treatment of Crash Locations are powerful tools for improving the safety of the road network in both proactive and reactive manners. It complements the more traditional reactive treatment approaches such as black spot programs. Although both Road Safety Audit and Treatment of Crash Locations have been used by Australian road authorities for a number of years, there is still a lack of suitably skilled people. Consequently, the road authorities (through Austroads) have developed national criteria for the Accreditation of Road Safety Auditors, which include completing an approved training course and obtaining relevant experience. Although there are no national criteria for the registration of crash investigators, the contents of this course is based on the Austroads Guide to Road Safety, Part 6 - Road Safety Audit and Part 8 - Treatment of Crash Locations. This course has been designed in conjunction with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) to satisfy all the requirements for an approved road safety audit and treatment of crash locations course.
