AET Transport and Mobility Forum

The AET Transport and Mobility Forum promotes active engagement of AET members and member-groups with each other and with other like-minded transport organisations through supporting and hosting a range of activities including online webinars, seminars and discussions on a wide range of transport and transport related topics of interest. We welcome new members and new ideas about transport and how we talk about transport.

Upcoming webinar

Advancing the research frontier in shared and autonomous mobility: Insights from Central Europe (joint webinar with the Central European Excellence in Transportation Research Association)

FREE Webinar: Thursday 5 February 2026
10.00-11.00 GMT / 11.00-12.00 CET

The webinar brings together cutting-edge research on shared and autonomous mobility, with a particular focus on insights from Central Europe. Organised by AET in collaboration with CEETRA, the Central European Excellence for Transport Research Association, it features two complementary contributions addressing behavioural adaptation in shared transport and strategic interactions in urban systems with connected and autonomous vehicles. The event highlights how new behavioural evidence and advanced modelling approaches are reshaping our understanding of future mobility systems.

The webinar will be hosted by András Munkácsy (Chair of the TMF), with moderation by Jacek Pawlak (Imperial College London). It includes a presentation from Roxani Gkavra (BOKU Vienna) on “Behavioural patterns in shared transport: The emergence of mobility chameleons” and from Rafał Kucharski (Jagiellonian University, Krakow) on “Post-Wardropian Urban Mobility Games with Connected Autonomous Vehicles”.

Speakers and moderator

Jacek Pawlak

 

Jacek Pawlak

Imperial College London

UK

 

Jacek Pawlak is a Research Fellow at Imperial College London, specialising in travel behaviour, agentbased and behavioural modelling, and data analytics for policyrelevant challenges in mobility, energy, and digital infrastructure. He is the Principal Investigator on QUBELL, a project examining biases in LLMbased energy advice, and a contributor to the UK Energy Demand Research Centre, where his work focuses on flexibility and transportmobility integration. Alongside his academic work, he has advised the UK Department for Transport, EIT Urban Mobility, RSSB, National Highways, and other industrial and policy organisations.

Roxani Gkavra 2

Roxani Gkavra

BOKU Vienna

Austria

Roxani Gkavra is a mobility researcher specialising in sustainable transport with a PhD on travel behaviour in the context of shared micromobility. She has contributed to major European and national projects at BOKU University in Vienna, Austria, including work on mobility hubs, demand‑responsive transport and the interplay between travel behaviour and urban planning. Her scientific work explores a diverse set of emerging topics including shared mobility user profiling, walkability, accessibility, equity, and mobility justice analysis.
Rafal Kucharski

Rafał Kucharski

Jagiellonian University, Krakow

Poland

 

Rafał Kucharski researches complex social systems, with a particular focus on urban mobility. His work examines congested, multimodal urban transport networks used by millions of agents, generating extensive mobility traces that can be leveraged for modelling, optimisation, understanding, and control. He leads the ERC Starting Grant COeXISTENCE, where he bridges machine learning and transportation research by simulating how intelligent machines compete with humans for limited urban resources such as space—and what outcomes this competition may produce.

He is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Jagiellonian University in Kraków (Poland), working within the Machine Learning Research Group. More information can be found on his website.
