Profile

Rico Krueger is an Associate Professor in the Intelligent Transportation Systems Section of the Division for Transportation Science at the Department of Technology, Management and Economics at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

His research focusses on the development and evaluation of new models, methods and technologies at the interface of behavioural modelling, machine learning and simulation for the planning, management and improvement of human-centric and sustainable transport systems. This includes developing and employing advanced models and algorithms as well as innovative data collection methods, such as immersive virtual reality, to better understand and predict human behaviour and decision-making in transport and mobility. Key application areas of his work include travel demand forecasting, multimodal transport systems, mobility on demand, emerging technologies, sustainability, health and wellbeing.

Rico received a European Research Council Starting Grant for his project IMMERSION: Explaining human decision-making by combining choice and process data (2024–2029).

Before joining DTU, Rico was a postdoctoral researcher at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. He holds a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from UNSW Sydney, Australia.
