The UC Berkeley Center for
Future Urban Transport was established in 2004 after the Volvo
Research and Educational Foundations designated it
as a Volvo
Center of Excellence in a competition involving a
large field of international candidates. It is housed at the
Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California,
Berkeley, and its Director is Carlos
Daganzo, Professor of
Civil and Environmental Engineering.
The Center's mission is
to study the mutual interdependence of urban transportation
policy and technology and use the understanding of that concept
to devise sustainable transportation strategies for the world's
cities.
Yuwei Li,
an assistant research engineer at PATH and an instructor and
researcher in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering,
was named Deputy Director in April 2006.
Li received his Ph.D. in transportation engineering from UC
Berkeley in 2004. His recent research concentrates on transit
operations. More about Li can be found below, along with infomation
about the Center's other participants. They are drawn from:

- faculty at the University
of California, Berkeley, and
- partners at other
institutions in the U.S. and
overseas.
