Transport Research Scholarships – Class of 2022

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Waka Kotahi, NZ Transport Agency, and Te Manatū Waka Ministry of Transport in association with Te Pōkai Tara, New Zealand Vice-Chancellors’ Committee (Universities NZ), funded eleven Transport Research Scholarships (five by Waka Kotahi and six by Manatū Waka) across four universities.

A number of the students receiving the scholarships will be providing a five minute introduction to the research they will be undertaking over the coming year. While we have linked the students with relevant staff from across both agencies, this will be an opportunity for you to hear about the research they are undertaking and, where appropriate, share your knowledge and any relevant key sources of information. The research being undertaken by these students is provided below.

Transport Research Scholarships – class of 2022 – research topics:
• Microsleep prevention system
• Marginalised groups‘ barriers to accessing Public Transport
• Lessons from the Pandemic: Challenges and opportunities for active and public urban mobility after Covid-19
• Examining changing technology in supply chain and freight intelligence
• Simultaneous analysis of freight, emissions and disruptions
• Machine learning for modelling short-term public transport predictions
• Using micro-incentives to encourage behaviour changes in urban and rural contexts
• Relationship between student snacking and transport modes in Dunedin and Otago
• Equitable access in the event of flooding for people who face mobility barriers
• Improving urban planning and design outcomes for women and women’s travel
• Theory and practice of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in New Zealand
