The Utrecht AI & Mobility Lab centers its research on three core themes: mobility, transport, and logistics.

 

To drive these advancements, the lab leverages key technical AI components, focusing primarily on:

 

  • Autonomous Agents & Robotics
  • Computer Vision
  • Decision Making
  • Information Retrieval
  • Knowledge Representation & Reasoning
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Machine Learning
  • Multidisciplinary AI
  • Socially aware AI
  • Explainable AI
  • Responsible AI

 

With a commitment to socially aware, explainable, and responsible systems.

Sustainable Development Goals

About the lab

The Utrecht AI & Mobility Lab is dedicated to addressing major challenges in mobility and public transport by focusing on safety, accessibility, throughput and emissions.

 

The lab’s mission and vision are to develop innovative AI techniques for various mobility domains such as public transportation, intelligent infrastructure, and mobility behavior of the public.

 

The impact of the lab lies in its contribution to fundamental and applied research within the field by developing and integrating data- and model-driven techniques. This will improve  the optimization of logistics processes like train schedules and goods transport, personalized online services, decision-support systems for policy and management, and the construction of intelligent infrastructure for monitoring and controlling traffic.

 

Research projects
