A leading role in transport technology

As one of the leading centres of transport technology research in Europe, we play a pivotal role in areas such as:

  • road user charging
  • smartcards
  • electromobility
  • advanced traveller information services

Our research provides improvements in traveller safety and security. We have renowned expertise in developing assistive technologies for older and disabled travellers.

New technologies for transport policy

We are at the forefront of the development of new technologies to help deliver and transform transport policy. We are innovative in our use of new technologies. We identify fundamental technical gaps and propose novel solutions. We provide demonstrations (laboratory and field-trials) of emerging systems.

We carry out proof-of-concept studies and technical and user evaluations of future systems.
