Biography:

Ryutaru Hirose is an M.Sc. student in the Department of Civil Engineering at University of Manitoba. Before joining this group, Ryutaru studied the capacity of All Way Stop-Controlled intersections at the Nagoya University, Japan and received a B.Eng. degree. Ryutaru joined this research group to learn advanced data analysis techniques while researching the capacity variation brought by the combined impact of adverse road-weather conditions and heavy vehicles. Ryutaro has a strong interest in developing methodologies for statistical data analysis, especially regarding traffic capacity.
