NTU's Involvement in Logistics, Multimodal and Urban Transport

Countries and regions' prosperity depends on their ability to be fully and competitively integrated into the world economy. Efficient and effective infrastructure networks, as well as good governance in transport, are a cornerstone to ensure such integration. As one of the first movers in logistics centres, NTU understands very well the importance of multimodal transport, cross-border corridors, logistics centres, and Transport Management Systems. NTU is committed to providing technical assistance tailored to the specific needs of each local context. Particular attention is driven towards harmonisation with international standards and legislation, and to transport policy and planning. NTU also provides technical expertise in the prioritisation of investment projects and PPP schemes to a diverse range of actors.

NTU has extensive experience evaluating different stages of multimodal transport and logistics projects, from pre-feasibility studies to operation and maintenance activities, including market analysis and marketing strategy. NTU's operations targeting the development of logistic centres and increased multimodal transport efficiency include: corridor studies, multimodal transport planning and modelling, scenario analysis, data collection, transport infrastructure analysis, capacity development, planning and networking of logistic centres, strategy development, policy input, spatial planning, logistic platforms, transport plans and corridors development, institutional building, etc.  

Urban transport plays a vital role in shaping the sustainability, efficiency, and accessibility of cities. It encompasses a wide range of systems and services, including public transit networks like buses, trams, light rail, and metro systems, as well as cycling, walking infrastructure, and ride-sharing solutions. NTU has supported urban transport and mobility projects by providing transport strategies that prioritise integration, multimodal solutions, and smart technologies to enhance connectivity while reducing emissions. Additionally, NTU has contributed to capacity building for public organisations responsible for urban transport, helping to improve safety and sustainability in urban transport systems.
