About this position

This postdoctoral project at Delft University of Technology focuses on how passengers experience and accept automated buses in a real-world public transport setting. The research is embedded in an international project on automated bus transport, with demonstrations in Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, and aims to support deployment-ready solutions that can be scaled after 2030.

At the heart of the Dutch demonstration is an automated bus service connecting Delft Campus station and the TU Delft campus. The postdoc will study the acceptance of automated buses and help evaluate how vehicle automation contributes to the wider public transport system, including its role as a first/last-kilometer connection. The work is directly tied to the project’s effort to combine remote supervision, passenger safety monitoring, and fleet management into a single operational framework for driverless public transport.

The researcher will define an impact assessment and evaluation plan, conduct research on user acceptance and the positioning of automated buses in the public transport network, synthesize lessons learned from the demonstration sites, and contribute a final dissemination report. The role also includes writing scientific papers and presenting findings at conferences.

Within TU Delft, the position is based in the Sustainable Urban Multimodal mobility (SUM) Lab in the Department of Transport & Planning, and the Dutch demonstration involves collaboration with DAM Shuttles, MRDH, the city of Delft, and public transport operators RET and HTM.

Funding details

Temporary external finance; 2-year postdoc appointment with salary and benefits in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.

What's required

Applicants must have obtained a PhD degree in transport or a related field. Experience with user acceptance of automated transport and public transport systems is required, along with the ability to work independently and with public and private parties.
