Projects and articles of Rodric Frederix

Rodric Frederix

Researcher
Rodric Frederix obtained a doctorate in Engineering, specialising in estimating traffic demand in large-scale transport networks. At TML he specialises in designing intelligent traffic lights and supports the Flemish government and various cities and municipalities in their rollout. He also works on developing macroscopic traffic models for Flanders and on developing Traffic Scout.
