Abstract

Many have provided me professional and personal support which contributed to the successful accomplishment of my research. My deepest gratitude and great appreciation are extended to those mentioned in the following who have contributed in different ways during my years as a PhD candidate in NTU. To my supervisor, Associate Professor Wong Yiik Diew, for his tireless guidance, valuable comments and advice, and support. His knowledge-sharing has made me improve as a researcher and at personal level. Having the opportunity of working under your supervision has been a great experience. To the former and current research teams within the Centre for Infrastructure Systems (CIS) and Transport Research Centre (TRC) for providing advice and support countless times. More than colleagues, many have become good friends. And to the technical team from the Transport & Geospatial Laboratory for assisting me often. Also, to the Final Year Project students, URECA students, and student assistants who assisted with data collection and/or data cleaning. To personnel of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering for the immeasurable help in the years at NTU. As well as to the personnel of the Land Transport Authority (LTA) who provided me advices and professional support for my research.

To my family members-specially my siblings: Sol Segovia and Orlando Rojas-and friends for their never-ending encouragement, support, and faithful prayers that lead me through my studies and life in Singapore.
