My research work has been focused on understanding the nature, process, and outcomes of passenger crowding on trains and investigating different demand management options to mitigate this issue. Working in collaboration with several teams, my recent work extends into the study of related settings, such as overcrowding at large public gatherings (e.g., Hajj), in which we are particularly interested in whether crowd behaviour plays a role in evacuation planning and overall crowd management. We have also used measurements of physiological parameters to study how people respond to different types of environment, especially in terms of restorative experiences and cognitive performance.

My research work has been focused on understanding the nature, process, and outcomes of passenger crowding on trains and investigating different demand management options to mitigate this issue. Working in collaboration with several teams, my recent work extends into the study of related settings, such as overcrowding at large public gatherings (e.g., Hajj), in which we are particularly interested in whether crowd behaviour plays a role in evacuation planning and overall crowd management. We have also used measurements of physiological parameters to study how people respond to different types of environment, especially in terms of restorative experiences and cognitive performance. Apart from these areas, my work collaborations extend to investigating religiosity, occupational ergonomics and safety, work and women’s well-being, as well as development and evaluation of interventions. Within these collaborations, we have developed two copyrighted scales, i.e., the Rail Passenger Crowding (RPC) scale and the IIUM Religiosity Scale (IIUMRelS). To know more about a particular strand of my work, see my portfolio at https://beyondcommuting.wixsite.com/dianamahudin. Enquiries for research and professional collaborations are welcomed.
