Michael Hyland

Michael Hyland (BS, MS, Cornell University, PhD, Northwestern) works to improve the modeling, analysis, planning, design, and control of urban transportation systems to help create smarter (i.e. more efficient, sustainable, and affordable) cities through research and teaching. His research interests include emerging transportation systems such as bikesharing, ridesharing, and shared-use autonomous mobility services, as well as the integration of these emerging systems with existing transit networks. Michael’s research and teaching emphasizes the mathematical modeling of transportation systems through a combination of operations research (e.g. optimization, simulation, network, Markov decision process) models, statistical (e.g. discrete choice, linear regression) models, and economic models.
