Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRahul Raoniar is a transport safety researcher and post-doctoral research associate with eight years of experience bridging transportation engineering, transport psychology, and quantitative social research. He holds a Ph.D. focused on pedestrian unsafe road-crossing behavior and applies advanced analytics (Python, R, Stata, survival analysis, machine learning) to design walkable, cyclable, and accessible streets. His work spans field studies, policy-relevant evaluations, and advocacy for vulnerable road users—including children, blind pedestrians, and people with walking disabilities—and he has examined underappreciated issues like the hidden costs of free parking in Indian cities. Having worked at IIT Guwahati, IIT Bombay, and CSIR-CRRI, Rahul combines rigorous academic methods with practical transport-planning insights and a strong public-facing presence via blogging and YouTube. Known for quantifying pedestrian-vehicle interactions (Pedestrian Safety Margin) and using data-driven approaches to influence infrastructure design, he brings an interdisciplinary, impact-oriented perspective to road safety challenges.
