Faheem Ahmed Malik

Dr. Faheem Ahmed Malik is a Lecturer at the School of Computing Engineering and the Built Environment at Edinburgh Napier University. His research focuses on intelligent transportation systems, with particular emphasis on cyclist safety, smart mobility, and sustainable urban transportation solutions. He is affiliated with the Transport Research Innovation Centre and actively contributes to research in AI applications for transportation safety and efficiency.

Dr. Malik's research interests span multiple domains within transportation engineering and intelligent systems. His primary focus is on cyclist safety modeling using advanced machine learning techniques. He investigates how infrastructure design, environmental conditions, and rider personal attributes affect road safety. His work also extends to sustainable urban logistics, particularly e-cargo bike adoption by small businesses, and smart mobility solutions for last-mile delivery. His research integrates artificial intelligence with transportation engineering to develop real-time safety systems that can predict and prevent cycling accidents.

Analysis of Dr. Malik's recent publications reveals a strong trend toward applying deep learning and neural networks to transportation safety challenges. His work consistently focuses on vulnerable road users, particularly cyclists, and addresses how environmental variables, infrastructure design, and personal characteristics interact to influence safety outcomes. His research spans multiple subfields including real-time safety modeling, crash prediction, infrastructure optimization, and sustainable transportation solutions. A notable aspect of his work is the application of nanoscopic modeling approaches that consider fine-grained details of cyclist-road interactions.

Dr. Malik has received several professional recognitions:

• FHEA (Fellow of the Higher Education Academy)
• MCIHT (Member of the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation)
• FMAIEME (Fellow of the Malaysian Association of Institutions of Engineering and Mechanical Engineers)
