R. Jayakrishnan

R. Jayakrishnan, a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Samueli School of Engineering, University of California, Irvine, is a leading researcher in transportation systems engineering.

• Ph.D., University of Texas, Austin, Civil Engineering, 1992
• M.S., University of Texas, Austin, Civil Engineering, 1987
• B.S., Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India, 1985

His research focuses on dynamic traffic assignment, urban traffic simulation, and real-time information systems to improve congested traffic corridors. He is developing advanced dynamic simulation-assignment models for urban traffic networks.

Recent publications highlight his contributions to:

• Crowdsourced delivery optimization using decomposition heuristics
• Eco-driving algorithms with V2I communication
• Multi-furniture placement applications via augmented reality
• Subscription mobility services cost-benefit analysis
• Agent-based lane-changing coordination systems

These works demonstrate his interdisciplinary approach combining transportation engineering, optimization algorithms, and emerging technologies like AR and connected vehicles.
