Our research covers both passenger and freight transport whilst examining information technology's role in complementing or substituting transport.

We’re interested in how society influences technological developments in transport, commonly termed 'intelligent transport systems'. We take an inter-disciplinary approach involving engineering, economics and social sciences.

We have expertise in:

traffic management and control
safety
the environment and sustainability
bus and rail operations
freight and logistics
walking and cycling
