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.
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.
The research and development topics are very broad and include studies of the travel habits or needs of users of a given territory or means of transport, user satisfaction, public transport, the impact of changes in supply, soft modes, freight, logistics, last mile, fares, accessibility, inclusiveness, gender, environment, electric mobility, etc.
Likewise, and even more so in the case of Road Safety, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are the object of study and development, as well as other means of land transport, such as rail, tram and metro, as well as maritime and air transport.
