Early Life and Academic Background:

Boris S. Kerner, born in Moscow in 1947, emerged as a significant figure in traffic theory, particularly known for his development of the three-phase traffic theory. Graduating from Moscow Technical University MIREA in 1972, Kerner delved into a diverse array of scientific fields, earning his Ph.D. and Sc.D. degrees from the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union in 1979 and 1986, respectively.

Early Career: From Semiconductors to Traffic Dynamics:

During the initial phase of his career spanning from 1972 to 1992, Kerner’s research pursuits were centered around the realms of physics, with a focus on semiconductors, plasma, and solid-state physics. Notably, he made significant contributions to the theory of autosolitons, exploring solitary intrinsic states across various dissipative systems.

Transition to Traffic Research:

In 1992, Kerner shifted his focus towards vehicular traffic, joining Daimler Company in Stuttgart, Germany. His transition marked a pivotal moment in traffic research, as he began unraveling the complexities of traffic dynamics. By the turn of the millennium, Kerner’s work culminated in the formulation of the three-phase traffic theory, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding traffic flow in congested conditions.

Leadership at Daimler and Academic Appointment:

From 2000 to 2013, Kerner assumed the role of Head of Traffic at Daimler, spearheading groundbreaking research initiatives in traffic dynamics. Concurrently, in 2011, he was appointed as a Professor at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, further solidifying his academic prowess in the field.
