Academic Engagement Partners

“The University of Southampton is delighted to work in Partnership with the Transport Systems Catapult (TSC) through the University Partnership Programme (UPP) and other initiatives, in our joint  efforts  to promote Intelligent Mobility solutions across all modes of transport.

Knowledge transfer, secondments and workshops in core areas are vital in enhancing the knowledge base, technical competence and innovation in this sector and the UPP is providing the essential resources to make this happen. At Southampton, this initiative is also helping to draw together Intelligent mobility expertise across the University, including new autonomous systems in transport, state-of-the-art modelling and optimisation processes, Human Factors in transport and one of Southampton’s key strengths: maritime transport .

We look forward to continued fruitful co-operation with TSC to exploit the many exciting opportunities which lie ahead in the transport sector as technology continues to advance.”

Our series of staff and student placements with the Transport Systems Catapult has proved invaluable. By bringing together our academic research and the real world data and understanding of the transport systems setting the quality and impact of our work is significantly enhanced. In addition, we are seeing strong partnerships between academic colleagues and TSC staff develop which are providing the basis for future collaborative research activities.
