Jaume Barceló was honoured for his life’s work and achievements in the traffic simulation sector. During the official prize presentation, the Chair of the TRB committee honoured Barceló’s contributions to the development and dissemination of microscopic simulation and his leading role in the transport industry, in which he has actively organised workshops and seminars for transport modelling and traffic simulation.
Jaume Barceló was a co-founder of the company TSS-Transport Simulation Systems and worked for many years as Professor and Scientific Director at the Technical University of Barcelona. Today, he is an important strategic advisor for the PTV Group.
The prize winner commented: ‘It is an honour to accept this award. However, it also recognises the contribution that mobility makes to our society. Today, cities are complex, dynamic worlds and people's behaviour, how they move around, is changing. How can one do justice to these changes and plan for a better future? PTV software offers outstanding support for integrating the possible responses to these challenges and finding appropriate solutions.’
