David Alvarez Castro

Dr David Alvarez Castro’s background is in Survey Engineering, Geodesy and Geospatial Data Science. David is a surveyor engineer, geospatial data scientist and PhD in transport agent-based modelling (AgBM) with experience in both academia and industry. He has been involved in projects where the use of geospatial information has a fundamental role, from infrastructure as-built, to multi-modal transport simulations, passing through 3D railway modelling and COVID-19 simulation scenarios.

David’s research interests revolve around road decarbonisation for a more sustainable and resilient transport future. He is keen on increasing the use of sustainable modes by developing transport mobility scenarios using open-source tools and open access datasets.

Focus on DARe

Within the DARe Hub, David is working on WP2 to test transport resilience to current and future extreme weather events. He is using AgBMs to simulate the impact of extreme weather conditions to transport mobility, taking into account the interactions of synthetic individuals in space and time. In addition, adaptation strategies are also simulated to test their efficiency in reducing the risk and improving the resilience to both the transport systems and the population.
