(Doctor of Sciences) degrees from the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union in 1979 and 1986, respectively. Between 1972 and 1992, his major research interests included the physics of semiconductors, plasma and solid-state physics as well as the development of a theory of autosolitons - solitary intrinsic states, which form in a broad class of physical, chemical and biological dissipative systems. Since 1992, he worked on understanding vehicular traffic at Daimler Company in Stuttgart, Germany. He is the pioneer of the three-phase traffic theory, which he introduced and developed in 1996–2002.  Between 2000 and 2013, he was Head of Traffic, a field of research at Daimler.

He authored more than 260 scientific works and patents as well as five books that are devoted to a variety of physical systems, complex dynamics of traffic flow in traffic and transportation networks, applications of diverse intelligent transportation systems for traffic prognosis, traffic control, dynamic traffic assignment as well as to the study of autonomous and connected vehicles in mixed traffic flow.
