Hocine IMINE

Hocine IMINE is a Research Director at Gustave Eiffel University, where he has been working since 2021 after previously joining IFSTTAR (French institute of science and technology for transport, development and networks) in 2005. He holds a PhD in Robotics and Automation from Versailles University (2003) and received his HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) from Valenciennes University in 2012. He serves as Cohead of NEXTRIM Associated International Laboratory, established in 2021 with the University of Bologna, Italy.

His primary research interests span Intelligent Transportation Systems, vehicle modeling and stability, nonlinear observation and control, simulation technologies, and cycling safety. Dr. IMINE has developed expertise in both heavy vehicle dynamics and bicycle/cyclist safety, with recent work focusing on bicycle simulators, cycling infrastructure assessment, and multimodal transportation systems. His research bridges theoretical control systems with practical transportation safety applications.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a clear evolution from heavy vehicle dynamics toward more comprehensive transportation systems research, with significant emphasis on vulnerable road users like cyclists. His work demonstrates strong methodological consistency in applying advanced control theory and observation techniques to transportation problems, while expanding into human factors and infrastructure assessment.

Dr. IMINE actively supervises research students and collaborates with international partners, particularly through the NEXTRIM laboratory. His research group at the Perceptions, Interactions, Behaviors and Simulations Lab for road and street users (PICS-L) develops advanced simulation technologies for transportation safety research. Current projects focus on bicycle simulators, cycling infrastructure assessment, and multimodal transportation systems integration.
