About

Kanok Boriboonsomsin is a leading researcher in sustainable transportation systems, with a focus on integrating connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies to improve traffic flow, energy efficiency, and environmental outcomes. His work bridges the gap between emerging automation and real-world mobility challenges, particularly in urban and highway networks. Among his notable contributions is the exploration of how robotic competitions, such as the JRC AUTOTRAC 2020, can serve as testbeds for designing future transport systems—a study that has garnered attention for its innovative approach to CAV deployment. Boriboonsomsin’s research emphasizes that while vehicle automation offers transformative potential for safety and sustainability, its benefits for traffic flow are not automatic; careful system design is essential. With over 3,000 citations across his body of work, his papers are widely referenced in the fields of intelligent transportation systems and eco-driving. His achievements include leading projects that quantify real-world fuel savings from CAV coordination, and he is recognized for advancing policy-relevant research that informs smart city infrastructure planning.
