Biography
Edouard Ivanjko is an Associate Professor at the Department of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ZITS), Faculty of Traffic and Transport Sciences (UNIZG-FTTS), University of Zagreb (UNIZG) where he teaches courses related to computer science, electrical engineering, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and traffic control. He is a member of the Transport Optimization Group (TOG) at the Department of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ZITS), Center of Excellence for Computer Vision (CRV), and the Centre of Research Excellence for Data Science and Advanced Cooperative Systems, Research unit Data Science. Personal research interests include intelligent transportation systems, modeling and simulation of road networks, and application of computer vision and artificial intelligence in road traffic control. In collaboration with research colleagues, he also assists in research related to the development of algorithms for transport optimization, estimation and prediction of traffic parameters, and navigation of autonomous vehicles.
He is a member of the following professional organizations: IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society, ITS Croatia, and KoREMA - Croatian Society for Communications, Computing, Electronics, Measurement and Control. Edouard Ivanjko actively participated in organization of several national and international conferences (International Symposium on Industrial Electronics ISIE 2005, European Conference on Mobile Robots 2009, Croatian Computer Vision Workshop in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, First international conference on transportation and logistics ICTL'2015, 9th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis ISPA2015, International Workshop on Data Science (IWDS 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019), International Conference Science and Traffic Development (ZIRP 2018 and 2019)), 11th Int'l Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis (ISPA 2019) and Informative workshops about the results of the finished PROM-PRO projects from the respective grant period (2016 and 2017) on UNIZG-FTTS. He participated in four scientific projects sponsored by the Croatian Ministry of Science, several EU funded projects (financed by the ESF, FP7 and the IPA program), in several professional projects in cooperation with industry and public institutions, obtained one PROM-PRO grant for young researchers from Faculty of Traffic and Transport Sciences (UNIZG-FTTS), and several short term support from the University of Zagreb (UNIZG) publishing more than 72 papers in international journals and conferences, chapters in scientific books, extended abstracts, and technical reports.
Currently, he is a senior researcher on the project "Advanced Methods and Technologies in Data Science and Cooperative Systems (DATACROSS)," where he aims to apply methods of deep reinforcement learning for traffic control. Results achieved so far include the INTEGRA controller able to integrate behavior of several road traffic controller during the teaching process, adaptive fuzzy logic based intersection controller optimized by means of the evolutionary algorithms, reinforcement learning based agents for traffic control of an isolated intersection and urban motorways (ramp metering and variable speed limit control), and appropriate microscopic simulation environments for teaching/testing of the developed traffic controllers. He actively collaborates with researchers from Brazil, Ireland, Northern Macedonia, and Switzerland.
