Research Interests
During 37 years of academic research and teaching, Professor Boyce has addressed key methodological issues related to metropolitan transportation and land use planning. His early monograph, Metropolitan Plan Making, critically examined the experience with the land use and travel forecasting models during the 1960s. Recognizing that these methods lacked an adequate scientific basis, he has since devoted himself to the formulation and solution of urban travel and location forecasting models as constrained optimization problems and related constructs, which synthesize elements of network analysis and modeling, discrete choice theory and entropy-based methods.
In addition to this primary research theme, from 1986-1996, Professor Boyce was an innovator of in-vehicle dynamic route guidance systems, a principal element of the emerging field of Intelligent Transportation Systems. In this area he conducted research on dynamic travel choice models and the performance of route guidance systems on urban road networks.
David Boyce has served as a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania (1966-1977), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1977-1988), and the University of Illinois at Chicago (1988-2003). He is a Fellow of both the Regional Science Association International (2002) and the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (2003).
