Inês Teles – Improving Traffic Studies with @RISK

Inês Teles works for TIS.pt enterprise (www.tis.pt) where she is working on research and consultancy projects covering areas such as cost-benefit analyses and transport model development. By using Palisade’s (www.palisade.com) @RISK software (www.palisade.com/risk) TiS.pt is able to improve the quality of decision-making by representing traffic demand results in a probabilities distribution histogram, because it allows us to determine the confidence interval for the mean value of traffic demand (or revenue), and identify the most influential input variables for traffic demand through tornado graphics interpretation.

Inês graduated in Territorial Engineering by Instituto Superior Técnico, Technical University of Lisbon (1999). She has complemented her academic qualifications with scholar Master Programme in Operational Research and System Engineering. She has developed her professional career as a planner and manager road projects, specializing in traffic demand studies for new road infra structures.
