About me


1986-1992 University of Sarajevo, Faculty of Transportation and Communication.

Completed a Postgraduate Diploma Course in Transport Systems Engineering at the University of South Australia in 1997 and started working as a Traffic Operations Engineer at the Metropolitan Region of Transport SA in Adelaide.

Commenced working for the Transport Systems Centre at the UniSA in November 2000 as a Research Assistant.

Completed a Master Degree Course in Transport Systems Engineering in 2006.

His expertise is in the field of traffic modelling especially in the use of PARAMICS, AIMSUN, SIDRA, SCATES and CUBE(formerly Trips) software.

Currently working for UniSA as a Research Associate.

My research is based in the Barbara Hardy Institute. Find out more about the Institute on our website or on facebook


Thesis


Linking macro level strategic transport forecasting models and traffic microsimulation models to enhance transportation analysis process.

Traditional strategic level transport models based on static network equilibrium are still widely used tool in Transportation analysis despite their inability to deal with many important aspects of dynamic traffic behaviour. When the need arises to gain more detailed view of transport networks and individual vehicle interaction then microsimulation modelling is used instead. Both, macro and micro, level modelling have their advantages over the other and it will continue to play important role in transportation modelling. Thus, linking strategic and micro level models would enable consistent data exchange and increase cost-effectiveness of development, application and maintenance of such models.
