Holistic Transport System
Vision: to contribute to the development of a reliable and resilient transport system that is sustainable in the environmental, economic and societal dimensions.
Multiscale, -actor and -issue approach
To implement Holistic Transport System in research requires definition of interfaces between subsystems like rail and road. Through a multiscale, -actor and -issue approach, progress on one aspect is evaluated in the larger picture. Integrated and participatory simulation approaches are key tools.
Presentation of Holistic Transport System
In the film below (around 8 min.) the research theme is presented (from KTH Transport Days 2016 ).
Research groups
Several research groups at KTH's departments/divsions in KTH's school organisation conduct research that fits in the Holistic Transport System.
School of Architecture and the Built Environment (ABE)
School of Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health (CBH)
Competence centres
Competence centres - Holistic Transport System
EIT-KICs and SRAs
Also, research connected to Holistic Transport System is carried out at KTH through Strategic Research Areas (SRA) and within collaboration in EIT-KICs related to transport .
