Centre for Mobility and Transport

We challenge the boundaries of what sustainable future mobility can deliver.

Addressing key challenges in transport

We generate research outputs that address crucial challenges in relation to the:

  • mobility of people and goods
  • transport systems that underpin them
  • impact that both of the above have on health and wellbeing
  • decarbonising and ensuring the reliance of our transport systems and the infrastructure they use
  • utilising sensing and data to underpin our understanding of the transport system and deliver the evidence to inform decision makers and practitioners

We do this using a novel cross-disciplinary approach. We provide insight, innovation, experience, expertise and solutions from engineering and science. In doing so, we engage widely, influence and ensure we consider the wider impact this has on society.

Our research aims and ethos

We recognise that science, engineering and technology on their own are not enough. We engage the end user and society to co-create effective solutions together.

Transport thinking cannot take place in silos. We recognise there is a broad multidisciplinary area concerned with mobility.

We can break down silos by:

  • understanding the facilitators and barriers to mobility
  • looking at technology and innovative system design for solutions
