This is one of the two locations of the University of London Centre for Transport Studies, a leading centre for research in transport engineering, operations, safety, planning and policy. Its work is at the forefront of transport research in Britain and is widely recognised internationally - with especially strong connections elsewhere in Europe, North and South America, and Pacific Rim countries. The Centre includes the ESRC Transport Studies Unit, the ESRC's designated research centre for the field of transport.

Some current fields of research are:

Computer-assisted traffic engineering
video image analysis
road junction design and operation
design of bus priority systems
use of massive databases
use of artificial intelligence techniques
Traffic in networks
dynamic modelling of travel choices
estimation of demand from traffic counts
information technology in network management
Transport safety
safety of public passenger transport
statistical analysis of accident data
identification of safety measures from accident data
urban safety management
exposure of pedestrians to accident risk

Accessibility Research Group
