Technology for people DTU develops technology for people. With our international elite research and study programmes, we are helping to create a better world and to solve the global challenges formulated in the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Hans Christian Ørsted founded DTU in 1829 with a clear vision to develop and create value using science and engineering to benefit society. That vision lives on today. DTU has 11,500 students and 6,000 employees. We work in an international atmosphere and have an inclusive, evolving, and informal working environment. Our main campus is in Kgs. Lyngby north of Copenhagen and we have campuses in Roskilde and Ballerup and in Sisimiut in Greenland.
At the Transport division, we work on analyzing impacts of incentives and policies on the use of transport systems. Our research supports decision makers to create intelligent and sustainable transport solutions and meet the future’s transportation challenges particularly related to congestion, the environment and safety. The division consist of five research groups: Transport economics, Transport Psychology, Transport Demand, Transport and Route Choice, and Machine Learning. The Research Assistant will be affiliated with the Transport Psychology group, but a number of tasks will be carried out in collaboration with the other research groups, as well as external national and international stakeholders.
The Research Assistant will be working in the field of transport psychology. Our research focuses on the interaction between the individual, the society and the physical environment. Based on cognitive, behavioural and social psychology, we examine the impact of e.g. risk perception, attitude and norms on road user behaviour. Our research topics include (but are not limited to) risk-taking behaviour, new modes of transport, traffic offenses, traffic culture and mobility. Our group also develops interventions to change transport-related attitudes and behaviour. In addition, we conduct research-based evaluations in terms of legislative changes, changes in transport infrastructure, safety measures, campaigns and other measures in the transport field. We apply and develop our research-based knowledge in connection to public sector support and actively exchange our research results with society in general.
