Research Organisation / University

Stockholm, Sweden

We are Sweden’s largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers and faculty from around the world dedicated to advancing knowledge. The Division of Transport sna Systems Analysis (in the department of Urban Planning and Environment) works with transport planning and behavior modelling, relating to sustainable transition. The role of technology, communication and internet of things are important tools to create better living environments and sustainable futures. Our vision is to create better pathways for innovation management to be accessible to all. In particular my research focus is in the field of active mobility and new mobility services (shared micro mobility, mobility as a service, demand responsive transit). In the ongoing projects we are exploring the role of gamification in the adoption of sustainable travel choices and developing digital platforms (digital twins) to develop capacities of local governments and engage communities and social networks.

About me

I am a docent in transport systems analysis and associate professor in mobility and urban planning with expertise in urban transportation modelling, forecasting and simulation primarily within the context of sustainable mobility transitions. I study behaviour change mechanisms in response to life cycle events and interventions - both hard (infrastructural)as well as soft (nudges, incentives and gamification).

Related to the call this year, we have recently developed parking simulation scenarios for Stockholm incorporation street transformation, school streets/play streets and parking reduction policies. My recent projects also develop behaviour models incorpration users' travel experience, satisfaction and subjective well being.
