Research topic: the role and place of city logistics innovations in the transition towards smarter and sustainable cities
The professorship of Smart Cities and Logistics focuses specifically on logistics in urban areas.
Key points of expertise:
Digitisation, digitalisation, and improved data availability are key to all three directions to connect logistics operations in the cities to the other urban systems such as energy, the built environment, mobility and vehicles. As a result, innovations at the interface between the systems are made feasible. In addition, it also enables the visualisation of logistics and its impacts in the urban environment.
The professorship of Smart Cities and Logistics is closely linked to the professorships of Urban Mobility Planning.
