Welcome to REACT lab at UBC
React is a fusion of souls and grey matter, inspired by the idea that truly sustainable transportation engineering and planning are possible, and that better information can lead to better decisions.
Our current focus is utilitarian bicycle and pedestrian travel analysis and modeling (speed and route choices, network design, energy expenditure, air pollution and health). Take a look at the project section for more details.
