The Chair of Infrastructure Management at the Institute of Construction and Infrastructure Management, Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering, offers a PhD position focused on developing methodologies for intervention effectiveness analysis to support urban road safety as part of a larger EU project. The project aims to advance safe active mobility uptake and research through a human-centred, evidence-based approach that integrates actual and perceived safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and micromobility users.

By combining multi-source traffic, infrastructure, vehicle, and health data with immersive eXtended Reality (XR) experimentation and explainable Artificial Intelligence, the project analyses safety-critical situations that are rare, underreported, or ethically impossible to observe in real traffic. The project delivers harmonised assessment methodologies, predictive models, and validated indicators for robust evaluation and comparison of interventions across Safe System Approach stakeholders.

Tasks

  • Structure and model potential infrastructure interventions designed to improve urban safety and comfort.
  • Develop robust methodologies and indicators (e.g., surrogate safety measures) to evaluate intervention effectiveness in improving safety and comfort.
  • Apply and test developed frameworks across four European pilot cities, with a strong focus on the City of Zurich.
  • Coordinate regularly with local stakeholders, specifically Zurich’s Dienstabteilung Verkehr (DAV), and international project partners.

Requirements

  • A Master’s degree in spatial planning, urban analytics, transport planning, or a related field.
  • A good grasp of statistical methods and empirical study design, programming skills, and spatial analysis (use of GIS tools).
  • An interest in promoting safe urban transport and collaborating with project partners.
  • Good knowledge of English (professional proficiency, written and spoken) and German (working proficiency, written and spoken).
