Clas Rydergren

Clas Rydergren is a Professor and Head of Unit at Linköping University's Department of Science and Technology (ITN), within the Communications and Transport Systems division. His research focuses on transport modelling, data analytics, and simulation, with expertise in passenger demand, traffic flow analysis, and urban traffic management. He leads the Traffic Modelling and Simulation research group, collaborating with industry to address real-world transport challenges. Rydergren coordinates the master's program profile in Traffic Analysis and contributes to logistics and transport education through program boards. His work integrates GPS, radar, and mobile data to improve transport systems.

Education details are not explicitly provided in the texts, though his academic roles imply advanced qualifications in transportation engineering. His research spans microscopic traffic simulation, automated vehicles, and sustainable transport policies. Over 50 publications since 1998 reflect contributions to equilibrium modelling, data-driven approaches, and infrastructure design evaluation. He advises on strategic traffic management methodologies and has explored taxation policies' impact on road traffic. Current research emphasizes mobility analytics for efficient road transport and cycling infrastructure investments.

Grants and collaborations with industry partners underpin his applied research, aiming to bridge academic insights with practical transport solutions. He is involved in educational program development, ensuring curricula align with industry needs in transport and logistics. Rydergren's lab focuses on large-scale transport models and innovative data sources like cellular network and GPS data for traffic analysis.
