Urban & Transport Systems Researcher. Microsimulation. Land Use–Transport Modelling. Evacuation Planning. Smart City Evaluation.
I am a Research Fellow (Post-Doctoral) in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Toyohashi University of Technology, Japan. My work sits at the intersection of urban systems, transport networks, and computational modelling — asking how cities can be made smarter, safer, and more equitable.
My research encompasses land use–transport interaction modelling, agent-based microsimulation, Quality of Life (QOL) and Quality of Business (QOB) accessibility indices for Smart City evaluation, digital service substitution dynamics, and disaster evacuation simulation.
I work closely with collaborators Kojiro Matsuo, Nao Sugiki, and Yoshitsugu Hayashi, and have presented at leading international venues including EASTS, WCTR, ETC, and e-ASIA symposia as an invited speaker.
ORCID: 0000-0003-3295-1567 Researchmap: mustafa-mutahariDeveloping QOL and QOB accessibility indices to evaluate the performance of Smart City proposals around Toyohashi's air-front zone, integrating transport and land use data.
Agent-based microsimulation model of Toyohashi City for evaluating transport and land use policy scenarios, capturing heterogeneous household and firm behaviour at fine spatial resolution.
Modelling how digital and online service adoption substitutes or complements physical travel demand, with implications for transport planning in the post-digital transition era.
Simulation of information and behaviour diffusion through multi-layer social and physical networks, informing both transport policy adoption and emergency response planning.
Developing spatially-explicit evacuation simulation frameworks for urban areas under seismic and flood hazard scenarios, integrating transport network vulnerability and population behaviour.
Integrated modelling of land use and transport co-evolution for long-term urban development scenario analysis, supporting sustainable and evidence-based regional planning decisions.
Successfully defended and received PhD in Engineering, majoring in Architecture and Civil Engineering.
Commenced post-doctoral Research Fellowship in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Toyohashi University of Technology.
Presented research on Smart City QOL/QOB accessibility indices at the e-ASIA Joint Research Program Symposium as an invited speaker.
Latest journal article on air-front Smart City evaluation using QOL and QOB indices accepted and published in MDPI Sustainability.
Presented two papers at the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies biennial conference, covering microsimulation and evacuation modelling topics.
