Bryce Chao

Bryce Chao serves as a Researcher in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), operating under the Barcelona School of Civil Engineering and affiliated with the BIT - Barcelona Innovative Transportation research group. His work focuses on advancing intelligent transportation systems and sustainable mobility solutions within European frameworks.

Research interests center on connected and autonomous vehicles, traffic flow dynamics, and sustainable infrastructure optimization. He investigates platooning strategies for automated vehicles and lane management techniques to enhance highway capacity through simulation modeling, addressing critical challenges in urban mobility and environmental sustainability.

His 2024-2025 publications reveal consistent focus on vehicle automation and traffic management, utilizing advanced simulation to evaluate platooning efficiency and lane strategies. This work bridges theoretical modeling with practical applications, directly supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals 9 (Industry/Innovation), 11 (Sustainable Cities), and 13 (Climate Action).

No scientific awards are documented in available information. Chao actively participates in competitive research funding, notably the MED-EUROPA project—a European transnational initiative testing novel solutions for public transport's transition toward energy and resource efficiency in the Mediterranean region.

Within the research ecosystem, Chao collaborates through the BIT group while extending networks via CARNET and CER-AMA. These partnerships foster interdisciplinary research on future mobility, leveraging expertise from multiple European institutions to develop innovative transportation solutions for the Euro-Med area.
