Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Operational Research

Operational Research (OR) is the discipline of applying advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions.

Transportation Group

Our research focuses on the interactions between behaviour, infrastructure and operations and how they translate into transport policy and practice.
