With the technology that we develop, we help policy makers to form policy in such a way that there is a safe and pleasant living environment where everyone can live, reside and work. We do this from a focus on mobility and on the basis of data and models. In the research group I find it important that everyone can develop themselves and that everyone's contribution is seen and recognised.
