This PhD project at the University of Southampton, supervised by Dr Ioannis Kaparias, focuses on investigating the travel time reliability of trips involving public transport. The aim is to enable more accurate prediction of a traveller’s estimated time of arrival, which is crucial for inclusion in multi-modal journey planners. The research will likely involve analysing transportation data, modelling travel time variability, and developing methods to improve the accuracy of journey planning tools.

This work is highly relevant to the fields of transportation engineering and urban mobility, with potential applications in smart city initiatives and public transport optimisation. The project is ideal for candidates interested in transport systems, data analysis, and improving urban travel experiences. Funding details and specific entry requirements are not provided in the current description. Interested applicants should consult the University of Southampton’s website or contact the supervisor for further information.
