To analyse the characteristics of the multimodal mind in the 21st century and the need to establish new coordinates of cohesion and develop new forms of discourse and narrative.
In this line of research, studies are carried out to quantify the habitual physical activity of groups of people with some special situation, usually a pathology that affects the musculoskeletal system. In this way, the aim is to establish the effect of the practice of physical activity on parameters related to the health and functionality of these people.
Study of the main risk factors causing traffic accidents (speed, alcohol, drugs, medicines, illnesses...) and the vulnerable groups most involved in them.

Corresponding to its complexity and wide range, it focuses on studies and developments concerning strategy (including tactical and operational levels) and all the components involved in the decision-making process, based on normative or descriptive models (mathematical versus psychological), as well as at the individual and group level.
To propose and assess collaborative tasks that allow future teachers to progress gradually from the mere instrumental use of TACs (Learning and Knowledge Technologies) to the development of a more critical awareness of them.
Analysis of the innovation flows that take place in a geographically localised production system, taking into account the concentration and cooperation of SMEs, social cohesion and interactions between companies, as well as formal and informal institutional relations.
The topics of research and development are very broad and include epidemiological studies, accident research, causes of accidents, risk factors, risk groups, vulnerable users, driver behaviour, basic psychological processes, attitudes, motivations and values underlying behaviour, the special case of offenders and repeat offenders, as well as autonomous driving.
In addition to the human factor, the subject of study includes the roads (with special attention to black spots and accident hotspots, as well as signage, which is particularly variable), vehicles, and the condition of all of them.
