Johan Olstam

Johan Olstam is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Linköping University, affiliated with the Department of Science and Technology (ITN) within the Communications and Transport Systems division. His primary research focuses on traffic modeling and simulation, particularly in the context of automated vehicles and mixed traffic environments. He contributes to advancing traffic system understanding through large data analysis and microscopic simulation techniques. His work addresses challenges in traffic flow optimization, infrastructure performance evaluation, and the integration of autonomous technologies into existing transportation frameworks.

Key areas of expertise include traffic bottleneck identification, dynamic lane management, and the implications of connected/automated vehicles on safety and efficiency. Olstam collaborates on interdisciplinary projects involving logistics, communication systems, and urban planning. His recent publications emphasize practical applications of simulation models to real-world traffic scenarios.
