iMOVEInstitute for Individual Mobility & Vehicle Evolution

What we study

Research agenda

The seven strands on which the institute is building its first analyses.

01
Starting

Prior no-increase study

How to demonstrate, before intervening, that no relation gets worse: data, calibrated models, thresholds and acceptance criteria.

02
Starting

Mapping critical nodes

A method for identifying, in an urban network, the few points that account for most of the delay.

03
Starting

Catalogue of flow separation

Solutions for separating vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, public transport and logistics, and the map of conflict points.

04
Starting

The cost of lost time

How to estimate transparently the collective cost of minutes lost on the road, with declared and replicable assumptions.

05
Starting

Network effects of closures

Ex ante forecasting of the effects of traffic restrictions on alternative routes, public transport, logistics and emergency response, and verification afterwards.

06
Starting

Induced traffic and capacity

A critical review of the literature on induced demand and its limits when works are sized on real flows.

07
Starting

Evolution of the vehicle and the road

What electric propulsion, connectivity and driving automation ask of the infrastructure.

The agenda sets out directions of work, not publications already issued. Reports will be listed here when they are published.
