Additional information:
The Institute for Transport Studies (ITS) is the focus for the transport research interests of all departments of the University of Leeds. The Institute's aim is to advance the understanding of transport systems throughout the world, by teaching and research activities which develop the necessary skills and best practice in the planning, design, operation, and use of transport systems. ITS secured a 5* rating, the highest rank, in the most recent UK Research Assessment Exercise.
The research of ITS is carried out in collaboration with industry and local authorities as well as other departments in the University ¾ the Leeds University Business School, the School of Civil Engineering, the School of Computer Studies, the Department of Psychology, the Department of Statistics, the School of Geography and the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering. In addition to research, ITS offers a variety of postgraduate teaching programmes at the Masters level and has an extensive doctoral research programme.
External sponsorship accounts for over three-quarters of the Institute's income. A significant component of this is research funded by the European Commission, both in Transport and in Telematics. ITS has participated in some 34 projects in the Fourth Framework.
Research is coordinated via subject groups in policy and environment, network analysis, behavioural modelling, public transport and freight, traffic control and demand management, and statistics. ITS supports two large research facilities, the Advanced Driving Simulator and the Instrumented City.
Continuing professional education is provided through a wide range of short courses; advisory and consultancy commissions are undertaken for a variety of clients; and software (such as SATURN; for data-capture devices; and for training) is developed and marketed.
