Urban PlanningHow the physical form of cities shapes travel choices, quality of life and the shift to cleaner transport. We study urban mobility, liveable streets and public spaces, and where to place EV charging, battery swapping and shared bike parking.View research summaryResearch Focus
Six research streams driving sustainable, safe, and intelligent urban mobility.
Urban PlanningHow the physical form of cities shapes travel choices, quality of life and the shift to cleaner transport. We study urban mobility, liveable streets and public spaces, and where to place EV charging, battery swapping and shared bike parking.View research summary
Smart CityHow digital data and AI can make urban mobility safer, more efficient and more responsive. We apply LLMs and VLMs to social media and street imagery, study smart mobility services, and examine public acceptance and governance of urban data.View research summary
Future MobilityHow people adopt, trust and live with robotaxis, autonomous delivery, low-altitude drones and app-based services. We study user trust, human–robot interaction, how other road users react, and the effects on drivers and riders.View research summary
Traffic SafetyWhy road users take risks and what makes roads safer. We study road user behaviour, the occupational safety of delivery and ride-hailing riders, and new evidence from social media, AI and real-world data.View research summary
Transport Equity & AccessibilityWhether everyone can reach the jobs, education, health care and social life they need. We study barriers for people with disabilities and older adults, gender and personal safety, and affordability and spatial access.View research summary
Transport Policy & Demand ManagementHow cities can manage travel demand to cut congestion, air pollution and emissions, and how people respond. We study pricing instruments, access restrictions and the public acceptability of demand management policies.View research summary
