Introduction
The previous research groups of structures and materials, surveying and geotechnics have been combined with transport research to form a single multi-disciplinary team, focused on the needs of designing, constructing, managing and maintaining the sustainable infrastructure of the future.
Key areas for the Transport and Infrastructure group include:
- Damage caused by unstable slopes in response to climate change
- Monitoring changes in landscape using archived imagery and photogrammetry, and the impact of flooding
- Development of new test procedures to measure the performance of composites in sports pitches and pavements, enhancing the sustainability of recycled materials
- The long term sustainability of transport infrastructure
- Development and evaluation of travel plan networks
- Real-time intelligent map-matching algorithms for advanced transport telematics systems
- Examining the acceptability of innovative carbon reduction strategies such as personal carbon trading
- The environmental impacts of air and surface transport
- Continuing research on aircraft accidents and the assessment of changes in the regulatory environment
Achievements in addressing the global problems of mobility management, sustainable travel and infrastructure engineering are outlined on the Research Themes page.
