Rail is an environmentally sustainable mode that can be instrumental in addressing the climate emergency if appropriately tailored to the needs of a wide range of travellers. Understanding such needs and how they might be changing as new technologies emerge will allow infrastructure providers like Network Rail and rail operating companies to be proactive in seeking to maximise rail's potential. Increasingly customised travel solutions such as AVs and AAM pose important questions of fairness and impact on cities'liveability; what is their impact on congestion?; are they a good use of space (e.g. parking, landing pads); does their cost exclude some parts of society? Answers to these questions will be needed to ensure the future provision of affordable, accessible, and demand-responsive transport.The core tools used within this project will be from the areas of Economics and Sociology. The latter will inform the qualitative data collection, that the student will design, and that will inform the qualitative data collection. Economics models will be applied in the data analysis phase, as well as Data Science techniques that will enable the student to manage large databases. There is an important geographical aspect to the project, concerning the understanding of differences between urban/rural areas and use of space in different context, which will likely require techniques from Geography.

铁路是一种环境可持续的模式，如果适当地针对各种旅行者的需求量身定制，则可以在应对气候紧急情况下发挥作用。了解这种需求以及它们如何改变，因为新技术的出现将允许网络铁路和铁路运营公司等基础设施提供商积极主动寻求最大限度地发挥铁路的潜力。越来越定制的旅行解决方案，例如AVS和AAM提出了重要的公平性和对城市的影响的重要问题；他们对拥塞有什么影响？它们是否很好地利用了空间（例如停车场，降落垫）；他们的成本是否不包括社会的某些部分？需要解决这些问题的答案，以确保未来的负担得起，可访问和需求响应的运输。该项目中使用的核心工具将来自经济学和社会学领域。后者将告知定性数据收集，学生将设计，并为定性数据收集提供信息。经济学模型将应用于数据分析阶段，以及将使学生能够管理大型数据库的数据科学技术。该项目有一个重要的地理方面，即了解城市/农村地区之间的差异以及在不同环境中使用空间的差异，这可能需要地理技术。
