Research Groups
ITS is organised into four Research Groups and each research student is a member of one of these groups:
- Economics and Discrete Choice
- Spatial Modelling and Dynamics
- Safety and Technology
- Sustainable Transport Policy
Research students are highly valued by ITS and despite often being at the early stages of their careers, are expected to make important contributions. Each student is encouraged to play an active role in the range of activities undertaken both within and across Research Groups.
Our aim is to develop people with enquiring minds to become instrumental in the future of transport. A multi and inter-disciplinary approach is a fundamental aspect of this and the research vitality is reflected in the student cohort. Students are drawn from a range of disciplines such as engineering, economics, mathematics, operational research, computing, psychology, environment, geography, social sciences and others.
Research Themes
With such a large and diverse range of research undertaken within ITS, it is difficult to fully convey the range of opportunities for research study, but they are brought together within a set of research themes:
- Air transport policy impacts
- Business and economy
- Climate, carbon and energy
- Health, public safety and well-being
- ICT and intelligent mobility
Detailed information about each of the groups and themes can be found in the Research section.
