Our Transport and Operations Research group is a leading centre of transport technology in Europe. By pursuing research you'll join a successful research group focussing on:

transport
civil engineering

Our mission is to foster, promote and conduct research of international quality. We attract high-quality graduates and researchers and train them to international standards.

Research into transport and civil engineering is done by our Transport Operations Research Group (TORG). TORG is one of the leading centres of transport technology in Europe. We are central to key research in areas such as:

road user charging and smartcards
developing both the policy ideas and the underlying technologies

We are running a world-leading trial in electric vehicles and public charging infrastructure in the north east of England. This research is informing:

policy
international standards development
its impact on energy demand and environmental emissions

We have also developed a low-cost wireless sensing technology called Motes. This is being used to:

track traffic pollution
help develop strategies to manage traffic demand
reduce emissions

This world-leading technology is being used commercially by several local authorities. It is being assessed for deployment in some high profile international cities.

Our main research areas are:

land use and network models
passenger transport and policy
transport and the environment
infrastructure design and telematics

We supervise MPhil and PhD students in the following areas:

freight and traffic loading
public transport management and operations
traffic management and control
road traffic safety and accident analysis
transport emissions and the environment
transport telematics and image processing
intelligent transport systems (ITS)
travel behaviour
highway design and engineering
operating speed models
environmental impact and monitoring of transport activities
