Purvang M. Chaudhari

I am a Ph.D. student in the Civil Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai. I am working under the guidance of Prof. P. Vedagiri and Prof. Nagendra Velaga. My research aims to model Truck Driver's Behaviour Under the Influence of Adverse Weather Conditions. This research will enable researchers and policymakers to understand the effect of different weather conditions on truck drivers' driving behaviour compared to normal driving. Moreover, this research will help understand driver compliance to advance warning systems. I am awarded the prestigious Prime Minister's Research Fellowship by the Government of India to carry out the research.
