CURRICULUM VITAE
PROFESSOR JOHN W. POLAK
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Professor John Polak is Professor of Transport
Demand, Chairman of the Centre for Transport
Studies and Director of Research in the Department
of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Imperial
College London. Professor Polak is a mathematician
by background with over 30 years experience in
transport research and teaching, specialising in the
areas of mathematical and statistical transport
modelling and analysis. He is a past President of the
International Association for Travel Behaviour
Research and a past Council Member of the
Association for European Transport and a past
member of a number of TRB Committees and serves
on the editorial advisory boards of a number of
leading international journals. He has served as an advisor to central and local government and
industry on a wide range of transport issues, both in the UK and overseas and is a member of the
Mayor of London’s Smart London Board. Professor Polak has been in the forefront of innovative
transport model development in the UK for a number of years and has published extensively on a
number of aspects of travel demand modelling, network performance estimation, network control and
traffic management and intelligent transport systems. Much of his recent research has been concerned
with the collection, analysis and interpretation of very large scale real-time datasets related to
operational, behavioural, attitudinal and environmental aspects of transport. He is currently leading
the development of Imperial’s new Urban Systems Laboratory.
