Centre for Future Transport and Cities
Our research in future transport and cities is at the forefront of mobility innovation in a rapidly changing technology-enabled world.
We see major disruption in the transport sector due to the imminent arrival of future technology such as connected and automated mobility. As a result of this, the way in which people, goods and services move is changing dramatically and we are guiding that change.
