Our research is focused on building an interconnected digital twin network that spans the whole transport system, including road, rail, maritime and aviation – across both passenger and freight.
Road
Our road freight and passenger transport research includes using digital twins to understand how goods are shipped between roads and ports and how transport users make travel choices.
Rail
Train, tram and bus services – and how to encourage their use over cars – is a core focus of our research, which will include a digital twin demonstrator of a major UK transport hub.
Maritime
Decarbonising ports and the trucks that use them to deliver and collect freight is one of our biggest research challenges and includes using digital twins to explore electrification and alternative fuels.
Air
Airports are vital freight hubs – our research investigates how goods move from air to road, including creating and linking digital twins of interconnected road freight and delivery company operations.
About Us
TransiT is the UK’s largest research hub dedicated to rapidly decarbonising transport using digital twins.
