Description
Cycling for transport has the potential to lead to huge gains in population health (such as through increased physical activity) and environmental health. However, a number of barriers exist that prevent people from riding bikes.
A number of projects are available across the spectrum of cycling safety and promotion, including:
- Understanding the key causes and locations of cyclist crashes
- Understanding the lived experiences of people riding bikes (such as naturalistic studies of adults or children)
- Evaluating interventions to improve cyclist safety and increase cycling participation
- The role of e-bikes in cities of today and the future
- The role of other micro-mobility devices in our cities of today and the future
- The use of machine learning techniques to improve cyclist safety
Top-up scholarship funding is available to outstanding candidates.
