Mobility

We study the daily mobility of the population in terms of spatial, environmental and social impacts. We focus on sustainable forms of mobility, in particular public transport, focusing on its time competitiveness, accessibility and spatial determinants of travel behaviour such as settlement patterns and distance from stops. We are also looking at the integration of travel modes into Mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) and mobility/transport poverty. We consider transport infrastructure as an opportunity or a barrier for sustainable mobility and for coherent spatial and regional development.
