PhD Opportunity in Automated Mobility and Mixed Traffic at KU Leuven
This PhD project focuses on one of the major challenges in future mobility: how automated vehicles can safely and efficiently interact with human drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians in everyday traffic. The research moves beyond isolated automation and instead addresses the complexity of mixed traffic and multimodal transport systems.
The successful candidate will join KU Leuven and work on topics including traffic modelling, data analysis, and control design. The project uses real-world data, including data from the autonomous bus pilot in Leuven, and aims to develop strategies that make automated systems safer, smoother, and better integrated with human road users.
This is a fully funded 4-year PhD position. The post highlights strong societal relevance and practical impact in mobility solutions. The research environment involves interaction with cars, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians, making it suitable for candidates interested in transportation engineering, automation, and real-world mobility systems.
Eligibility highlights: a motivated applicant with interest in automated mobility, mixed traffic, multimodal systems, and quantitative methods. No explicit language-test waiver, tuition waiver, or other fee waiver is mentioned in the post.
Application deadline: 8 June 2026. Interested applicants should review the KU Leuven vacancy page and apply via the provided application link.
