DATS is a Research Group attached to the University Research Institute on Traffic and Road Safety (INTRAS). The research group was created in 1995 and is formed by professors and researchers of renowned prestige. The aim of the DATS Group is focused on Consulting, Research, Development, Innovation, Training and Dissemination Projects in the fields of Transport, Traffic, Mobility and Road Safety. It develops its projects both for administrations and institutions as well as for companies, whether public or private, national or international, in order to respond to the needs of its clients, as well as in general to solve the social problems represented by traffic accidents, poverty and environmental degradation across the world, with special attention to developing countries. Therefore, one of the main activities is the accompaniment in the diagnosis of problems and detection of opportunities, as well as the definition of solutions and strategies to guide decision-making. The work of the DATS Group has contributed to increase knowledge in the field.

The work of the DATS Group has contributed to increase knowledge in the field. In this sense, the group has made an effort to disseminate findings through books, articles in scientific journals and/or scientific and outreaching conferences. Likewise, the group has actively participated in and with mass media with the aim of communicating and raising public awareness. Consequently, the following services are included in its Service Charter:
Preparation/Drafting of Strategic Plans for Transport, Logistics, Sustainable Mobility, Local and Urban Planning, Road and Workplace Safety (in-itinere and in-mission accidents).
Definition, development and implementation of interventions, measures and counter-measures in the fields of Transport, Mobility and Road Safety.
Legislative, Regulatory and Normative development.
Deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS).
Assessment and recruitment, especially of drivers, both positive and negative, including the development of instruments to achieve these goals.
Design and teaching of training and education programmes, as well as the necessary teaching tools and resources (including those based on technologies such as Virtual Reality, especially simulators, and Augmented Reality). It is aimed at scholars, professionals, technicians and users/citizens in general.
Creation of communication and advertising campaigns, including Corporate Social Marketing campaigns.
Evaluation of Plans, Programmes and interventions, including those related to legislative, regulatory and normative development (Legislative Assessment).

- Contribuir al incremento del conocimiento de fenomenos relacionados con el transporte, la movilidad y la seguridad vial, mediante estudios y auditorias, principalmente epidemiologicos y de comportamiento, asi como de la evaluacion de Planes, programas y todo tipo de intervenciones, tanto del factor humano como de las carreteras, los vehiculos y el "enforcement"
- Promocion de la salud publica, mediante el desarrollo de Planes, intervenciones, medidas y contramedidas, dirigidas a la prevencion de los accidentes de trafico, con sus consiguientes muertes y lesiones, incluido el ambito laboral, asi como mediante el fomento del uso del transporte blando y los modos blandos
- Desarrollo de la Gobernanza y el diseño de Politicas Publicas, mediante la mejora de la Planificacion Estrategica y la Toma de Decisiones, y la Normatividad, realizados para gobiernos locales, nacionales, y organizaciones supranacionales, orientados al incremento de la seguridad, la preservacion del medio ambiente, y el desarrollo economico especialmente en paises emergentes
- Divulgacion de los hallazgos y resultados obtenidos a traves de medios de comunicacion cientifica y de difusion general (mass media), con el fin de incrementar el conocimiento y de promover una movilidad mas sostenible y segura
- Traffic and Road Safety.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.
- Transport and Sustainable Movility.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.
- Strategy and decision-making.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.
