Research Focus
Allister Loder's research focuses on the fundamentals of transport: travel demand, transport supply, and the economics and policy of transport. He is particularly interested in aspects where physics, regulation, and human behavior are strongly interacting. At the moment, his research focuses on:
- Empirical data collection and analysis (e.g., analysis of the 9-Euro-Ticket and Deutschlandticket, mode choice survey)
- Multimodal analysis and modeling of transport (e.g., macroscopic network modeling)
- Policy instruments (e.g., tradable mobility credits)
Since October 2022, he has been a fellow of the bidt Graduate Center, an Institute of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
