We are happy to share that Dr. Amir Brudner has won a research grant from the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, in support of a project that will be conducted in collaboration with the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality and in alignment with complementary research with MIT.

The research will focus on the preliminary development of behavioral models and an empirical analysis of the use of the urban parking strip in Tel Aviv-Yafo, while examining the impact of pricing, allocation, and enforcement policies on user behavior. Moving forward, the goal is to lay the foundation for the development of advanced data-based management tools, including the integration of methods such as Reinforcement Learning.

The research connects theory to application, and data to policy—and above all, directly touches the urban lives of us all. Congratulations to Dr. Brudner; we are proud to lead innovation in research with real-life impact.
