Dr Dilum Dissanayake is Postgraduate Director for Civil and Geospatial Engineering and Senior Lecturer in Transport Modelling in the School of Engineering
Background
Dr Dilum Dissanayake is a Senior Lecturer attached to the School of Engineering at Newcastle University. Her research interests include data modelling and analysis with attention to travel behaviour (trip, tour and activity modelling), road-user safety (child pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and older drivers) and the role of new information and communication technologies (ICT) in supporting and influencing travel behaviour.
She is the Principal Investigator of eHUBS project (2019-22; €412k), eHUBS-CAPP Project (2021-23; €392k) and EPSRC funded Micro-mobility project (2019-23; £55k) and the Co-Investigator of SPARC project with University of Cardiff and BITS Pilani (India) (2020-22) (see Research page for details). In addition, she holds a prestigious Duo-India professor fellowship with IIT Roorkee (India) (2020-22),
The novelty of Dissanayake’s research is the use of different data sources
[Revealed Preference (RP), Stated Preference (SP) and combined RP and SP] to
develop demand models [Multinomial Logit (MNL) and Nested Logit (NL) models] to
create a fundamental understanding of and enable the replication of
household-based travel decisions within single frameworks. The NL model that
she has produced in her PhD thesis has been later used as a base for several
PhD studies in economics, environment and business disciplines. Her initial
research provided mechanisms to allow the interactions of the various decisions
of individuals in a household to be modelled with sufficient accuracy to enable
travel behaviour responses to transport policies to be investigated. She has
also had experience in using the data collected by SP experiments to analyse
road users’ Willingness to Pay (WTP) for road safety improvement (The ICRA
project funded by EASTS).
She uses variety of modelling techniques (Discrete Choice Methods,
Hazard-based Duration Models, Generalised Linear Methods - Poisson and Negative
binomial models) blended with statistical techniques (Factor Analysis,
Cluster Analysis as well as Multiple Correspondence Analysis) in her
research. These methods and methodologies are particularly useful when
analysing various types of data available in transport field (i.e.
continuous, discrete, ordinal and nominal). While she used Maximum
Likelihood estimation methods in the past, she made a step forward in
her current research that incorporating Bayesian Inference,
especially when analysing environmental attitudes and awareness of
transport users.
Dr Dissanayake serves as an External Examiner for MSc in Urban Studies at
University of Glasgow (2017-20) as well as Undergraduate and MEng Programmes in
Civil Engineering at London South Bank University (LSBU) (2016-20).
At present, she acts as the Academic Editor of the Journal of Advanced Transportation and an Associate Editor of the journal of IET -
Intelligent Transport Systems (since 2018). She also acts as a reviewer in
Chief of the EASTS Journal (Travel Demand Analysis Group), and a peer reviewer
of number of international journals (Transportation Research - Parts A, B, C,
and D, Transportation Research Record, Transportation, ASCE Transportation
Engineering, accident analysis and prevention), and conferences (WCTR, TRB
Annual Meeting, EASTS). She received a Prestigious Bridge Fellowship from Japan
Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) to continue research on activity
modelling with Japan and have been continuing to provide her support to
JSPS as a reviewer for their grant applications.
