Biography
Tommaso Schettini is an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical, Industrial and Aerospace Engineering Department at the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science, Concordia University. His research applies mathematical optimization and simulation to transportation planning and operations, with a focus on making public transit and mobility services more efficient, responsive, and sustainable.
His work addresses problems faced by transit agencies, infrastructure planners, and mobility operators, how to schedule trains and metro lines to match passenger demand, where to locate electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and how to coordinate multiple transport modes in integrated networks. His methods combine integer programming, heuristic algorithms, and simulation-based optimization with real operational data.
Recent projects include demand-driven timetabling for metro and rail networks; optimal siting of electric vehicle chargers for ride-hailing fleets; and the integration of express bus services with micro-mobility options to improve first- and last-mile connectivity. His research is relevant to partners in public transit, urban mobility, and transportation infrastructure planning.
