One of our research focus is in understanding how people of all ages change behaviors towards an active mobility.

Changing mobility patterns requires high quality evidence. We use data and models to ensure cost-effective investment, enabling new infrastructure to be planned where it is most needed.

U-Shift is a research group that aims to address many mobility and urban transportation problems.

We work to identify problems and tackle them via academia research and consultancy projects, in partnership with the industry. This allows us to have the opportunity to transform the acquired knowledge and know-how into real world solutions.

Our work aims to achieve behavior change and paradigms shifts in urban mobility, which ultimately leads to more sustainable transportation.
