Alignment consistency, forward visibility and road safety on undesigned roads
Road traffic crashes are a major cause of injury and premature death in many countries of the world. Read more
Improving road safety in low- and middle- income countries
Ninety percent of the globe’s road traffic fatalities are located in Low- and Middle- Income Countries (LMICs) but the majority of research available to date addresses driver behaviour in high income countries. Read more
Understanding and intervening in young driver road safety
Newly-qualified drivers are the most likely drivers on the road to be involved in crashes. This is likely to reflect a combination of insufficient driving skill and deliberately choosing a risky driving style (e.g., speeding, dangerous overtaking). Read more
Energy-efficient electric propulsion systems for marine vessels and heavy-duty road vehicles
A fully funded PhD scholarship is available in my RPCS research laboratory (https://kamyarmehran.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/) within the school of EECS in Queen Mary University of London. Read more
Geotechnical assessment of ground settlement and soil-structure interactions based on data analytics and machine learning techniques for sensor-driven smart highways
The project aims to develop a geotechnical-based interactive analytical road health monitoring and predictive system for smart highways of the future, via machine learning techniques and data transmission protocols. Read more
Smart 5G and IoT Cooperative Communication System for Autonomous Vehicles in Intelligent Transport Systems
Reference number. SCEBE/21SF/017/DL. Background. One of the most important public health concerns in our world today is the global epidemic of road crash fatalities and injuries. Read more
The use of low-cost materials to improve sustainability of rural roads
Rural roads service most of the world's population and make up a significant portion of the global road network. According to the World Bank, rural roads are estimated to about 80% of the global road network and could be more than that in low-income countries (LICs). Read more
EPSRC CASE Conversion Studentship with Liebherr Machines Bulle - (ENG 1690)
Applications are invited to undertake a PhD programme, in partnership with LMB, to address key challenges in supporting the adoption of decarbonised fuels for off-road heavy duty (HD) applications, mining trucks and the maritime sector. Read more
Macroscopic traffic control and optimisation
Traffic flows are the bloodstreams of a developed country. A failing transportation system impedes economic growth and deteriorates human lives. Read more
PhD Studentship in Battery Fire Safety
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of energy storage, leading to the award of a Ph.D. degree. Read more
Rational Development of Organoboron Reagents
A PhD studentship is available in the group of Dr Andrés García-Domínguez (School of Chemistry, The University of Edinburgh, https://www.garcia-dominguez.chem.ed.ac.uk/research). Read more

The PlaceFinder DEMO: A Data Observatory Platform for Realising Transition to 15 Minute Neighbourhoods
Rapid emissions reductions[1] require transition of personal transport and freight, and reduction of energy in buildings and embedded in vehicles, and construction in urban areas. Read more
Start-up strategies for battery electric vehicles and aircraft in cold climates
The battery electric vehicle (BEV) has the potential to decarbonise the transport sector through the use of renewable electricity and zero tailpipe emissions, however, limited vehicle range remains a significant issue. Read more
Aeroelastic Fatigue Load Analysis of Large Offshore Wind Turbine Blades with Leading Edge Erosion( Ref: CW_2023_18_WSCH_2)
Project Key Words. Aeroelasticity, Fluid Structure Interaction, Wind Turbine Blades. Post summary. Read more
