Transport

Whether it's travel by air, sea or land, transport shapes society in many ways. Imperial Consultants can provide access to the latest, multi-disciplinary transport research.

Imperial's Centre for Transport Studies provides a focus for all transport related research at Imperial. With over 200 staff and students affiliated to the centre and an annual research portfolio of over £8m, it's one of the world's largest transport research groups.

Research areas cross the traditional academic disciplines, with the centre's members coming from medicine, physics, engineering, computing, biomedical engineering, chemistry and the Business School.

The centre has strong links with industry and has worked with companies including Arup, Atkins, TfL, DfT, BMW, QinetiQ, Logica, BP, O2, Thales and Nokia. The centre also runs international subscription clubs, principally in the areas of urban public transport system benchmarking. For an annual fee, industrial participants have access to analyses of common benchmarking data collected by the centre.
