Research goals and interests:
My research aims at understanding and predicting individual transport related choices and thereby providing the basis for interventions that facilitate greener, safer, and more inclusive transport. As predictors, I focus on psychological factors, such as attitudes, norms, and perceived barriers, while controlling for the effects of socio-demographic and infrastructural factors. My models and interventions are based on behavioural theories, such as the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the Norm-Activation Model or the Transtheoretical Model of Behaviour Change.
Focus areas:
- Mobility culture and travel socialisation
- Behavioural and environmental effects of new transport forms (e.g. e-bikes, automated vehicles, electric vehicles, car-sharing)
- Attitude based-segmentation
- Older people’s mobility and safety
