 | André-Gilles Dumont received his Diploma as Civil Engineer from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) in 1977. In 1991 he was appointed Professor of Civil Engineering at EPFL where he directed the Laboratory of Traffic Facilities. He teaches and conducts research in three domains: road design and telematics, pavement design and road maintenance.
| |  | | In recent years, the transport simulation of large road networks has become far more rapid and detailed, and many exciting developments in this field have emerged. In this perspective, the authors describe the simulation of automobile, pedestrian and rail traffic, coupled to new applications, such as the embedding of traffic simulation into driving simulators, to give a more realistic environment of driver behavior surrounding the subject vehicle. |
