Looking to join 15mC: traffic simulation, safety and accessibility (GTU, Türkiye)

Associate Professor at Gebze Technical University

Kocaeli, Türkiye

About

Gebze Technical University, Institute of Transportation Technologies, is looking to join a DUT Call 2026 consortium as a research partner.

Closest fit

15-minute City, Topic 2: Align ambitions for mobility transitions across sectors.

Secondary fit: adaptive reuse of existing mobility infrastructure and public space, where traffic operations, safety and access need to be modelled before redesign.

What we can deliver in a work package

- Microscopic and macroscopic traffic simulation (PTV VISSIM, PTV VISUM, SIDRA)

- Travel time reliability, congestion and network performance analysis

- Pedestrian behaviour and road safety analysis

- Public transport accessibility and community mobility (COST Action CA23101 BOPALiM, WG3)

- Park-and-ride and first/last mile analysis (GTU TTO and ISPARK study, 2024-2025)

- Applied studies with Turkish municipalities and operators in Istanbul and Kocaeli

What we are not claiming

We are not posting a ready-made project with a confirmed city co-applicant. We can discuss possible Turkish city or operator links, but the consortium still needs a municipality under DUT rules.

Who should contact us

- Coordinators that already have a city partner and need a traffic modelling, safety or accessibility work package

- Universities working on 15-minute city mobility, proximity and multimodal access

- Municipalities that want an applied research partner from Türkiye

Institution

Public research university. Eligible as a funded partner under TÜBITAK rules for DUT 2026.
