Branislav Dimitrijevic

Associate Professor, Civil & Environmental Engineering
About Me
Branislav Dimitrijevic specializes in transportation systems analysis, transportation planning, multimodal freight transportation and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). He earned Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering from NJIT in 2018. Prior to this appointment, he was a Senior Research Scientist at NJIT’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Dr. Dimitrijevic participated in a multi-year federal research program Transportation Economic and Land Use System (TELUS), and was one of the designers of a land-use modeling software developed as part of this program. He was also involved in numerous research projects funded by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, including development and implementation of several regional models for congestion and mobility analysis, as well as traffic signal system prioritization. His current research focuses on the use of transportation data analytics in road weather management and traffic safety, innovative mobility, integrated corridor management, and the use of drones in traffic operations applications.
