Interdisciplinary Sustainable Transportation Engineering and Planning Lab
About š¯‘–STEP Lab
The Interdisciplinary Sustainable Transportation Engineering and Planning (š¯‘–STEP) Lab is housed within the Department of Civil Engineering and Construction at Atlantic Technological University (ATU) Sligo. š¯‘–STEP Lab will serve as both, research and teaching laboratory dedicated to advancing safe, efficient, and low-carbon mobility systems through the integration of transport engineering, transport planning, human behaviour, and digital technologies.
š¯‘–STEP will bring together engineering, data science, behavioural analysis, and policy-oriented planning to address contemporary mobility challenges such as congestion, road safety, active travel uptake, decarbonisation, and equitable access to transport. The lab will serve as a platform for innovative research, immersive teaching, and real-world experimentation, supporting evidence-based decision-making for sustainable transport systems.
Mission
The mission of the š¯‘–STEP Lab is to design, analyse, and evaluate sustainable transportationĀ systems using interdisciplinary, data-driven, and human-centred approaches, while supporting education, research excellence, and societal impact.
Vision
š¯‘–STEP aims to become a leading interdisciplinary transport laboratory that bridges the gapĀ between engineering, planning, and human behaviour, contributing to the transition towards climate-resilient, inclusive, and people-centred mobility systems at local, national, and international levels.
