Sustainable Urban Development and Artificial Intelligence

The research group sustainable urban development and artificial intelligence does research about the application of data science and ai methods for intelligent and sustainable mobility systems. It connects research about machine learning with the field of transportation systems and innovative mobility concepts. The aim is to foster sustainable, user centric and evidence based urban development und intelligent mobility systems. Statistical as well as machine/deep learning methods are used for answering the research questions.
