Physics-based modelling of active mobility and adaptation of urban infrastructure to heat waves

Active mobility modes, such as walking, cycling, and sometimes riding e-scooters, are sustainable modes of transportation, but they are highly vulnerable to weather conditions, in particular the heat waves that are bound to get more frequent and more intense in the decades to come. Hence the issue of how to best adapt urban infrastructure and arrange public space to make cities more resilient in the face of these changes. The PhD project aspires to gain insight into this major challenge by exploring them through the lens of fine-scale, physics-based modelling of mobility.
