Enlarged view: Structure of research groups at the IVT — Structure of research groups at the IVT

We contribute to the following departmental grand challenges:

by planning the present and future of mobility, with links to spatial planning and sustainable development, by means of mobility policies and mobility management, for different forms of private and shared mobility. We seek to enable the potential of digitalisation for planning and controlling urban mobility systems, enabling sustainable and effective usage of infrastructure.

by designing smart transport infrastructures, optimising real time control and of infrastructure and resource usage, given current needs and performance required; enabling the resiliency of the resulting transport system to changing needs and planned/unplanned unavailability.

by means of evaluation of policies and technologies for improved sustainability and energy efficiency of mobility; Impacts of changing environment on mobility systems.
