Feixiong Liao

Feixiong Liao is a tenured Assistant Professor in Urban Planning and Transportation at Eindhoven University of Technology. He serves as Education Coordinator for the USRE Unit and holds affiliations with EAISI Mobility. His research focuses on developing large-scale urban transportation planning models.

Education includes a doctorate degree (cum laude) from TU/e, where he developed multi-state supernetwork approaches for metropolitan accessibility. Post-doctoral research involved international collaborations on travel behavior analysis.

Research interests center on network modeling for mobility demand, accessibility measurement in urban contexts, behavior analysis with bounded rationality, service innovation for mobility issues, and sustainability in mobility-energy-social nexuses. His work integrates land-use transport modeling, AI applications, and climate-neutral mobility solutions.

Publications show strong focus on transportation modeling innovations, particularly in multimodal systems, activity-travel behavior, and sustainable mobility solutions. Recent works increasingly incorporate machine learning and big data approaches to urban mobility challenges.
