Research themes within the Centre for Transport and Society (CTS)

Research by the Centre for Transport and Society (CTS) seeks to influence policy across transport and related sectors. It addresses a range of transport modes, including walking, from a societal perspective, and cover both personal mobility and freight mobility. Most CTS studies have relevance for the key challenge of climate change and all consider issues of social inclusion.

The research designs of CTS projects feature reviews, novel investigations, experiments, and evaluation studies. A wide range of qualitative and quantitative methods are drawn upon, often in combination, including surveys, interviews, discourse and historical analysis, focus groups, ethnography and visual methods, analysis of novel and existing datasets, modelling and simulation.
