DARe took part in Active Travel England’s Making Active Places Conference 2026, in Manchester, where Dr Alistair Ford shared some of the Hub's work and discussed how we can ensure that the networks on which active journeys rely are resilient to future climate extremes.
This paper addresses transport decarbonisation by simulating policies designed to shift travel behavior away from private cars toward active modes like cycling and walking. Using MATSim, an agent-based transport simulation framework, the study models how local and national government interventions could drive this modal shift, offering evidence to support effective policy design for reducing transport emissions.
DARe team members presented their research at the ICRS 2026 conference held at Delft University of Technology, spanning topics including the DARe Integrated Modelling Platform, enhancing transport system resilience, and assessing the robustness of the urban transport-energy nexus.
DARe research on an integrated modelling framework, part of DARe’s Integrated Modelling Platform, was presented at the 105th Transport Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.
Dr Qin Zhang from the DARe Hub team shares why understanding travel behaviour is key to sustainable transport, how agent-based modelling can aid understanding, and advice for fellow researchers.
David Alvarez Castro from the DARe team shares some of the latest innovations presented at the MATSim User Meeting 2024
